“Science is more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking; a way of sceptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask sceptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be sceptical of those in authority, then, we are up for grabs for the next charlatan (political or religious) who comes rambling along.” – Carl Sagan

Food, Farming, Ecocide

Budget Day Farmers’ Protest

On Budget Day family farmers from all over the country travelled to London to protest against their deliberate destruction by this government. The series of blows includes the impending inheritance tax on farms and businesses, the cancellation of subsidies, competition from cheap substandard imports, unfair trading standards and low prices for their produce caused by supermarket monopolies. While politicians steal their livelihoods, it’s farmers who are paying the price of keeping real food on our tables.

Although the protest had been approved 6 weeks in advance, the police (aka the Starmer government) banned tractors from Whitehall with less than 24 hours notice. As many had already left farms as far away as Cornwall, their tractors rolled into London from dawn, and in the resulting chaos ended up scattered across the city. Later, police began seizing tractors and arresting farmers who wouldn’t move their tractors from the peaceful protest.

If our farmers continue to be undermined, we will be left with lab-grown meat, and 3D-printed gloop; the next generation of junk food as opposed to real food grown by real farmers in mineral rich soil, providing food security, healthy food, and connection to the land.

Now more than ever, support your local farmer. Get to know them, buy direct, shorten the supply chain, and put money in the pockets of those who feed us – not corporations set on destroying them.

A fifth-generation farmer explains that he has only been able to survive by selling organic milk and diversifying into renewable energy. Against all the odds he wants to keep British land producing food for British people.

Watch; The truth on what’s happening to British Farmers; Rossett Park Farming, 28 November 2025

“Hi, I’m George, I’m a fifth generation organic farmer based in Wrexham, North Wales and I’m scared for the future of our family farm. If we weren’t organic, we wouldn’t have made a penny for this whole year’s work as conventional farmers have just been given a 16p reduction in the price they get paid for their milk, which is 33% of the total price they get paid. This means even the best performing dairy farmers will not be able to make a profit. And this is wrong. You might have seen on the news yesterday, farmers marching into London yet again, and you might have thought, there go those farmers in those shiny new tractors not wanting to pay their fair share in tax. But this is the furthest thing from the truth. In the majority of cases we don’t own these tractors, the banks do. And it’s not about not wanting to pay our fair share in tax, it’s about trying to keep British land producing food for British people. You may not know this, but 50% of the time when a farm closes its doors, it does not go back into food production again. So what is this land getting used for? Well, the people buying this land is the exact people this tax is marketed to attack. Big corporations and the wealthy elite buying up land to offset carbon and using your hard earned taxpayers money to do nothing with it. And now thanks to Labour, they can make even more money as they’ve just cut away some of the red tape around planning regulations. This is highly convenient as land prices this year have dropped 7.5% and are likely to drop even further when this death tax is introduced. I’ve been back home farming now a little under seven years and in my time all I’ve seen is increased costs, increased regulations and an unfair price of what we get paid for our produce. The only way we’ve been able to survive as a business is by diversifying into renewable energy and most recently opening our farm shop selling fresh organic milk and next year our grass-fed beef. But farming should pay, so why doesn’t it? Well, (supermarkets) are intentionally undercutting farmers by buying in cheaper food from abroad that can use chemicals that are banned here in the UK due to rightful human health and environmental concerns. This is what you find in your processed food, cheap ingredients made with only one thing in mind, profit, with no regard for human health or environment. You may say, well, good, cheaper food. Well if that’s the case, why do our food prices keep going up? And if we’re not making the money, who is?”


Farmers need far more than a food chain adjudicator – the government needs to negotiate and guarantee a cost of production price for all farm produce.

Listen; Supermarket adjudicator, BBC Farming Today, 5th Dec 2025

With dairy companies continuing to cut the prices they pay farmers for milk, the man appointed to ensure fairness and transparency in the UK agricultural supply chain says he’ll be watching out for any breaches in the coming months. Richard Thompson is the first in the new adjudicator role, looking first at the dairy supply chain.

His report, which covers the year from July 2024 to June 2025, says some farmers are still afraid to speak out in case of reprisals.


Great new book about how small scale farms are more ‘efficient’ if valued from a human point of view as opposed to corporate profits.

Listen; Finding lights in a dark age, with Chris Smaje Farm Gate, 25 November 2025

Chris Smaje; “We haven’t been self reliant in food historically for many years, not because we can’t be necessarily, but because it’s easier for us just to use colonial connections or buy in food from other parts of the world, and particularly horticulture, buying in labour, which is where we get to the migration issue. Because energy is cheap and human labour is dear, we tend to either import cheap labour or import goods produced through cheap labour elsewhere. We need to take more responsibility for that ourselves. And that ultimately is what being indigenous means. It’s not about the particular people or the colour of their skin who are doing this locally, it’s about learning how to generate welfare and well being from local resources. Most parts of the world have very ecologically rich and thoughtful traditions of livelihood production, as we do throughout Britain, and that’s what we need to learn, that’s what we need to focus on, that’s what being indigenous means to me.”


A farmer sums up the issues facing our invaluable farmers

Listen; UK Farming — Fighting for Its Future UK Column, 21 November 2025

Charles Malet, UK Column Presenter; “if the same government is going to write documents and say we need X, Y and Z in order to say that we have some sense of national security, and yet they don’t enshrine in law anything concerning food security. What is one to take from that?”

Alan Hughes, Farmer; “I’d say it’s short sighted or it could be construed as a line for profiteering. You’ve got to remember that some of the largest donors to these parties are corporations that own supermarkets, import and export companies and situation like that does benefit them greatly regardless of the fact that worldwide food production is actually being reduced due to pushing through solar panels, greening and rewilding. Almost every country in the western world is protesting against these facts in government. Larger turnovers, smaller margin, more expensive machinery, more bureaucracy and cost, but less availability to produce food and more statements of reducing dairy and meat, which means more reliance on chemical fertilisers, because without those livestock, you do not have the manure for the biodiversity to feed your crops and that further increases the cost of production as you rely more heavily on chemical fertilisers and sprays to keep the crops. It’s very poor thinking, but what it does do is drive up corporate profits due to reliance on chemicals, imports and foreign globalisation.”


Starmer’s policies are killing our precious farmers both metaphorically and physically

Watch; How am I going to save my farm? Liz Webster, 15 November 2025

Presenter; “Charles Rees is a fifth generation farmer who owns 370 acres of a 1,200 acre farm in Pembrokeshire. He’s one of a group of elderly or unwell farmers that farming unions are particularly concerned about because they say they don’t have time to plan for the inheritance tax changes. In February, Charles was diagnosed with cancer. His son Tom, an NFU Cyrmu official, has inherited his dad’s love of arable farming. He now runs the farm and fears he could be facing a potential inheritance tax bill of a million pounds.”

Tom Rees; “With the calculations I’ve done to pay that debt back in full, we’re virtually not going to make a profit for 20-odd years. So you are looking at a business that’s going to have a generation where there’s not going to be a lot left for investment.

Presenter; “You’ve got about six months before this probably becomes law. What are you doing with that time?”

Tom Rees; “It’s really difficult for us as a family. Dad’s obviously still very ill, struggles to talk, so having conversations about this is quite difficult. So spending time with the accountant as best we can, to see if there is anything we can do, but the reality is we can’t.”

Presenter; “Due to Charles’s health, which has affected his speech, life insurance or gifting which allows assets to pass tax free to the next generation if the giver survives seven years, may not be possible. The latest inheritance tax plans echo a struggle the family has faced before. When Charles’s own father died in the late 1970s, farmers were then subject to a similar tax.”

Charles Rees; “Took me 10 years to pay it off, so I couldn’t do anything but farm with a little tractor and a stick. And then once they managed to pay all our tax off, we had a few good years.”

Presenter; “Tell me about the farm then, what’s special about it for you?”

Charles Rees; “Well, I’ve been here 70 years. Yeah. It’s everything I’ve ever done.”

Presenter; “What’s been the impact on you of this announcement this year?”

Charles Rees; “It’s been hard for me lying in the hospital bed thinking how am I going to save my farm and having all this treatment to save my life and sometimes I think what the hell are you doing it all for? Because if something doesn’t change by next April I’ll probably top myself.”


Herding humans from the land to the city continues today

Watch; People didn’t flock to cities out of choice, ramblinghenry, 28 October 2025

“Did you ever notice how people say everyone left the land because farming was hard and life in the city was better? That’s not what really happened. People didn’t flock to cities out of choice, they were pushed. When the Enclosure acts came in, wealthy landowners fenced off the commons, the land ordinary people used to grow food, graze animals and live freely. Suddenly, the poor had nowhere to farm, nowhere to live, no way to eat. So they went to the cities, not for freedom, but for survival. And what did they find? Crowded housing, long factory hours, polluted air and a promise of progress that never fed their souls. Then came the movies, the billboards, the glossy dream telling us that cars, money and status were the new symbols of happiness. And we believed it. We chased it until we forgot what real wealth feels like. Because you can have all the money in the world, but you can’t buy a loving meal with your family. You can’t buy meaning community or connection to the land. That’s the great illusion, and maybe it’s time we wake up from it.”


One of the global elites’ crazy NetZero projects is on the rocks.

Read; Arla ends methane-reducing cow feed trial as review begins Farming UK, 9 November 2025

‘A major UK trial testing a feed additive designed to cut methane emissions from dairy cows has ended, with Arla Foods reviewing the results before deciding whether to continue its use.

The Bovaer supplement, developed by DSM-Firmenich, was trialled on 30 Arla farms across Britain. It works by reducing methane-producing enzymes in a cow’s stomach and is claimed to lower emissions by up to 45%.

The product has been promoted as a major step towards climate-friendly farming — though its rollout has sparked heated debate.

The trial’s launch last year stirred debate about food safety and sparked online protests, including videos of people discarding milk in opposition.’


A Danish farmer says that many of her dairy cows became sick after they were given the methane-reducing feed additive Bovaer, which is mandatory in Denmark.

Watch; Farmer no 2 steps forward in Denmark 3 November 2025

Dairy Farmer; “I’d like to tell you a bit about the law in Denmark about feeding Bovaer to our cows. It’s the law since this year that we have to feed 80 days of Bovaer to our cows, it’s a rule, and if you don’t do it, it’s just like you can go to the prison or you get like a big fine, a really big fine. So most all farmers just do it. What happened is that we started on the first of October. Most of the farmers do it in Denmark. It’s because it’s a little bit at the end of the year, it’s not warm, so no heat stress and everything, so we hope for the less problems. But we started in the beginning of October with low doses and we raised it up till the full doses around 20th of October. On the 30th of October we really got problems. It started with on that day we have robots, so we have a health list on the computer, and on that day we had like in one group, we have four groups of cows in our stable, we have one group with 36 sick cows. We milk on daily basis around 480 cows, so 36 cows in one group, that’s not really a positive thing. First we thought perhaps it could be something with the ration in the robot or something with the robot, but we couldn’t find anything, and the end of the day it started also in two other groups. So at that point we thought like, the cows were really just stopping with eating, and at that point we really thought it’s Bovaer We heard already earlier some problems about other farmers and the signals were really the same. So we were almost convinced that it was a problem with Bovaer we had at that point. So in the end of the evening, my husband and I decided we’ll stop with feeding Bovaer, because we cannot keep this, if this will continue all animals get sick. On Friday morning we had like 70 cows on our health list, and on Saturday morning it was almost 90. And we already stopped since Friday morning, so you can understand the problems were still rising. On Friday morning we had the first cow down, so they went to the sick box. On Saturday in the morning we had two more cows down. On the afternoon, one more. On Sunday we had also one cow down. And we are now standing on Monday at the last cow just recently just pulled out and half an hour ago, out of the stable, she can also not stand anymore. All have a lack of calcium, the ones who are laying down and just not eating, they just simply stop with eating, and we have a special powder which we gave the whole weekend to all the cows who stopped eating. And we’re pumping with them with it, and together with some vitamins, we try to get them up with eating again. With most of the cows that’s working, so it is some treatment for us which is working. And we hope that it will really stop right now, soon, with all the health problems, that will go a little bit better because we lost five kilos of milk per cow, so for us, it’s like 3,000 kilos of milk daily. That’s a lot of milk, and we really don’t want to feed it anymore, it’s just poison for our cows. They get sick from it. And this is not why we are a farmer, we are a farmer to, of course, produce milk, but also to have a good stable with healthy cows, and in this way we cannot keep that up. And we expect, because a lot of countries are also busy with introducing Bovaer in their country to feed by law, by the farmers, to the cows, and I would like to say to you guys, go against it, because if you want to keep on staying a farmer, this is not it, this is really not the way to do it. Thank you very much and good luck.”


If the true cost of chemical use was internalised into the retail price, organic produce would be cheaper. However, politicians are captured by corporate donors and brainwashed into financially supporting their profiteering.

Read; Researchers make stunning discovery after examining farmland treated only with organic fertilisers for decades Juliana Marino, 13 October 2025

‘Published in the Soil Science Society of America Journal, the study underscores the benefits of sustainable farming. It highlights how organic compost and manure not only support the health of the soil but also directly fight rising global temperatures through carbon sequestration.

“Collectively, studies like this are going to help us to move forward to more sustainable, more regenerative agriculture practices that will protect our soils and environment as well as help feed growing populations,” KSU professor of soil and environmental chemistry Dr. Ganga Hettiarachchi said, according to Rowan Hollinger of Canadian Light Source.’


After years of Defra assuring farmers that the EU subsidy scheme would be replaced by SFI (Sustainable Farming Initiative) payments to farmers for ‘public goods’ such as providing biodiversity and habitats, the SFI scheme was suddenly cancelled with no warning last March, leaving farmers with an uncertain future and no guidance about whether to continue to farm according to the agro-ecological principles that the SFI scheme was supposed to encourage. Farmers already on existing SFI schemes will be paid for only three years. Defra has announced, ‘Further information on our reformed SFI offer will be published later this year.’ With less than a month of this year left, there’s a deafening silence from Defra about the future of SFI payments.

Read; Britain is one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries – so why did the government close the Sustainable Farming Incentive? Countryfile, 3 November 2025

‘Britain is one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries. So why has Labour closed the Sustainable Farming Incentive, a scheme to reward farmers for protecting the natural environment?

The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) is a Government scheme that financially rewards farmers in England for adopting environmentally sustainable practices, such as protecting soil, rivers and woodlands. It raised hopes that this could reverse the trend of habitat loss and biodiversity decline. These hopes were dealt a blow when, on 11 March 2025 with little warning, the SFI was closed to new applicants.

For many farmers, it was a shock. Farming, more than most businesses, relies on long-term planning and stability. Bizza Walters, a farmer from Warwickshire who is influential on social media, explains: “A lot of farmers, including ourselves, have been prepping to put an application in, which is expensive. All that money that’s been spent is now meaningless. It’s incredibly frustrating and very worrying because there’s no talk about what it’s being replaced with.”

For organic farmers, the blow was particularly heavy. Soil Association farming advisor Jerry Alford says: “The frustration is that organic payments had only just become available outside of Countryside Stewardship (CS) schemes, and there was significant interest in farms looking to convert… Those losing out include small businesses who have less than five hectares and had not previously been able to apply for any environmental support.”

So what happens next? Will the Sustainable Farming Incentive return in 2026? I asked DEFRA and received a statement from the Minister for Food and Rural Affairs, Daniel Zeicher. In it, Zeicher mentions: “Our improved SFI scheme will be another step in this Government’s New Deal for Farmers to support growth and return farm businesses to profitability”.

When I pressed DEFRA for a time frame, I was told: “Further information on our reformed SFI offer will be published later this year.” Farmers will just have to wait and see.’


Sustain has produced this valuable resource to help communities that are threatened by plans for new-build factory farms.

BBC promotes the wasteful, unjust, global corporate food chain. Here we have veg imports from Senegal, grown by a French company on land that used to belong to local Senegalese villagers, with hardly any of the purchase price staying in Senegal, meaning cheap winter veg for UK consumers, but not so good for low-paid workers in Senegal and the 3,600 food miles to UK supermarkets and not good for UK vegetable growers either.

Listen; Veg grown in Senegal BBC Farming Today, 14 November 2025

Presenter; “Let’s start, though, with the increase in fresh produce coming into the UK from West Africa. Over the winter most of the sweet corn, radishes, spring onions and chilli peppers sold by supermarkets will come from two farms in northern Senegal. The businesses involved say it’s a win-win arrangement for the local communities and more vegetables for the UK market are likely to be grown there in the future.”

“In the UK, two thirds of the cost of producing a pack of corn on the cob or bunch of spring onions is labour. In Senegal, it’s less than one third. And pay came up in a conversation Jack had with one of the pickers.”

“She went from profuse thanks for the opportunity and then shifted to asking for a raise because her family needed more to get by. And this reflected many conversations we had in communities around pay.”


‘If COP is ruled by global corporations with funding coming from agribusinesses, there is no talk of real, commonsense solutions like decentralising economies, limiting the barrage of consumer messaging, preventing built-in obsolescence, or regulating the most polluting industries’.

Read; Humanity is not the problem, Helena Norberg-Hodge and Henry Coleman, Local Futures, 22 November 2025

‘Humanity has missed the mark. Humanity has failed.’ As COP30 gets underway, this was the media’s take on the UN Secretary-General’s announcement that 1.5 degrees of global warming has now been locked in. We should be rolling our eyes at such proclamations. Once again, humanity takes the blame for the impotence of corporate-led summits. The truth is that humanity includes billions of land-based people who have not yet been subsumed into resource-intensive cities and consumer lifestyles. Humanity includes hundreds of thousands of people who – like you, perhaps – have been actively resisting, renewing and localising thanks to their own common sense, care, and wisdom. Why should humanity take the blame for the blind, top-down policy frameworks that, above all, treat ecocide and climate breakdown as a ‘carbon market’ – as an opportunity to grow corporate bottom lines?

Ever since Al Gore stood up on his soapbox, we’ve had the finger pointed at our individual behavior. Meanwhile, global corporations were needlessly transporting goods across the world. ‘Free trade’ treaties were giving them the right to direct whole societies down the consumerist path; the right to target children with the message: ‘if you want to be loved and respected, you’ve got to have the latest smartphone, the coolest shoes’.

Humanity was never the issue. Corporate rule was. And there’s no two ways about it – COP is ruled by global corporations. Funding comes from agribusinesses like Bayer, banks like IBM, and mining corporations like Anglo American. As such, there is no talk of real, commonsense solutions like decentralising economies, limiting the barrage of consumer messaging, preventing built-in obsolescence, or regulating the most polluting industries. Emissions from redundant trade – at the very heart of the resource-guzzling global economy – has never been so much as mentioned during the negotiations.’


Dieter Helm admits that further industrialising farming is not what he or anyone else wants, and that regenerative farming is too reliant on glyphosate. Patrick Holden practices what he preaches on his small scale organic Welsh farm selling cheese via small shops across the nation. It is the corporate-captured economy that dictates that labour is expensive and so farm profitability depends on using chemicals and machinery. Their PR machine has promoted the myth that ‘without chemicals and machines we couldn’t feed the world’. In reality If we returned to small scale farms run by family farmers they would be able to feed their nation first and only export at a price parity if the importing country couldn’t produce it themselves.

Listen; Helm and Holden: The future of British farming Farm Gate, 11 November 2025

‘Professor Sir Dieter Helm’s recent paper – The future of British farming – has received applause and consternation on social media. For Helm, British farming stands on the brink of its most profound transformation “since the coming of tractors and fertilisers” – but the vision he sets out is disturbing. The paper describes the technical and financial forces shaping modern agriculture, while treating regenerative farming with a sceptic’s eye.’

Dieter Helm; “I’m sure there’s an argument to be made for conventional traditional family farming, but we do need a little bit of perspective here, so we got from 2 billion people to 8 billion people in the 20th century, and broke out of…well, start of the 19th century, we broke out of the constraints essentially, that someone like Malthus would have understood, that there was a very big constraint on the amount of food that could be produced and the population of the world was limited by that. In the 20th century. Whether we like it or not, whether it’s good or bad, it was the utter transformation, dare I say, through fossil fuels, of agriculture, which meant that 8 billion people are mostly pretty well fed today. It is extraordinary, and that is artificial fertilisers at scale, tractor power and the internal combustion engine, etc, and if we look forward into the future and ask ourselves, ‘where is all this food going to be produced?’ If people are going to get richer and developing countries want to move up the food hierarchy, look at what’s happening in China in terms of pork and chicken and so on. If they do, it might not be a good thing, but if they do, where is food at scale going to be produced and how is it going to be produced? And if I ask myself, is it going to be the conventional family farm as in the UK model that’s developed, my answer is a bit, but if you look at the frontier of all this stuff and you look at what indoor farming is doing, you look what intensive farming is doing in the east of England, it may be environmentally awful and there may be serious environmental costs, but the capacity to marry together the genetics and the synthetic biology with the informational technologies we have today, is likely, in my view, to induce a food production world which you won’t like, I probably won’t like, but one which is very, very different from the model of your farm. And I would say one thing further, which is the split between organic and regenerative. I mean, a lot of regenerative farming is basically glyphosate farming, right? Whereas organic is very different, and as a consequence, perfectly understandably, organic farming tends to be higher cost and tends to have somewhat lower outputs, at least when we think about it at scale. Regenerative farming is basically a step towards using glyphosate, and conventional farmers use this stuff all the time, including to dry a crop just before they harvest it, to go into the food chain. And this is a world of difference between what’s really going on in a lot of regenerative farming and what you do in your regenerative organic farming practices too, and they are not in the same planet. Much regenerative farming doesn’t look a lot different from the farmer I can see out my window here, who basically uses glyphosate, doesn’t plough and doesn’t drill, but is about the most intense farming practice I know for miles around.”


Rather than depending on volatile government handouts, farmers could reconnect with consumers and consumers to their local farmers – try writing into google; local food producers near me.

Read; Farmer believes reconnecting people with the land is vital, Southwest Farmer, 28 November 2025

‘Former farm manager and farm business adviser Neil Darwent believes there is an urgent need to reconnect people directly with the farmers who produce their food, to prevent thousands more small family farms disappearing from the rural landscape.

At the heart of his mission is a website called Produce & Provide – www.produceandprovide.co.uk – which has a map with over 1,000 farms spread across the UK selling food direct from the farm gate to their local communities and beyond.

Neil Darwent said: “We are attracting a growing number of people who want to support British farmers, but who have hitherto struggled to find a way to tangibly demonstrate their support. Through our website they are able to vote for the kind of farms they want to support by cutting out the middleman and going straight to the farm.”


Read; Bridging the Gap: How to fix the food system for everyone, Sustain, 1 December 2025

‘A small increase in government support for organic fruit and vegetables could deliver huge national returns for communities across the UK – and failure to act will deepen the UK’s diet, climate and farming crises – according to a new Bridging the Gap report from Sustain.

This report sets out key policy recommendations and the next steps to unlock opportunities for British farmers and growers to supply climate and nature friendly fruit, vegetables (veg) and pulses, that are accessible to everyone.These recommendations are based on nine pilots that were codesigned and run by partners across the UK. These innovative approaches bridged the gap – between fruit, veg and pulses, grown using organic methods by Small and Medium (SME) farmers, and people on low incomes across the UK – in both retail and school settings.

Through action-based research the programme found that it is possible to overcome barriers and identified how these approaches could be scaled, drawing on additional evidence and expertise.’


An Australian couple run World Vision, a charity that trains local communities to regrow trees by nurturing saplings that grow from tree stumps, improving semi barren land for grazing and crops.

Watch; Humble farmer who feeds millions A Current Affair, 1 November 2025

“He’s a humble hero, Tony Renato, but a hero nonetheless. He might be the quiet country boy from Victoria, but here in West Africa, the agricultural scientist is a big noise. Tony has transformed millions of lives, teaching farmers a special technique to breathe life into ruined land.

So what was here five years ago? Five years ago, this was a barren field.

The results are stunning. Because of Tony, his wife Liz and world vision, the planet is a better place for so many people who rely on the land to survive. The agricultural revolution began in Niger, West Africa, in 1981. Tony and Liz were 24.

Through regenerating the seed start and the living tree stumps that were already in that landscape, without using fertiliser or irrigation or improved seed, they’re growing an additional 500,000 tonnes of grain every year. Enough to feed two and a half million people.

No mean feat in this landscape blasted by ferocious sun and savage Saharan winds. Farmers were cutting down trees and slashing regrowth. Crops were failing. Families were starving. Animals were dying. Tony helped the farmers plant trees, but they died. Then the light bulb moment. He realised that instead of planting trees, farmers needed to allow the existing tree stumps to regrow.

This is the material we were working with in Niger. And so the farmers would be destroying this, would they? They saw it as a nuisance to their agriculture. It’s in the way. And they had a perception that’s competing with the crops. Let’s get rid of it.

But what you’re saying is that this is really good for the environment. It’s extremely important. When you think of the very strong winds, the high temperatures and the low soil fertility, trees are a buffer to those extremes that actually improve their agricultural production.

This was groundbreaking, a farming revolution that has now spread to 40 countries around the world, beginning in Niger, then Mali, Senegal and Ethiopia. Tony calls it farmer- managed natural regeneration.

In effect, it’s a combined bank account and an insurance policy. If all else fails, the trees are there as a mainstay.”


If papers about food security are written by tech and finance geeks, organic systems will inevitably be overlooked. Farmers shouldn’t be penalised for the pollution from their chemical inputs because they will be crushed by cheap imports from farms abroad that are not penalised for using the same  toxic inputs. So, if UK Governments neither protect our farmers nor give them subsidies, we must support chemical-free farming by buying healthier organic produce.

ffinlo Costain; ” ….. charging for nitrogen use, for example, increasing the fuel duties, so there is a carbon tax on oil and diesel that’s imported, whether that would be a sensible approach to changing the way that we manage land?”

Joe Stanley; ” I understand how economically that seems to make sense. We have environmental pollution and therefore, yes, polluter pays principle, you tax the pollution and therefore the pollution stops. But fundamentally the problem I have with this argument is why do farmers produce food the way they produce food? Because they are being forced in a very high cost economy to produce food to the absolutely lowest possible cost and then being paid often below the cost of production for that food. At the minute, wheat is being sold for less than £160 a tonne. That is an historic low level. Now, if you’re going to tax the polluter, who is the polluter in this situation? Is it the farmer who’s essentially stuck within a system which is forcing him to produce food in a certain way, or is it society, in more general terms, who are demanding food at that incredibly high volumes at incredibly low cost? So for me, the fundamental problem with the argument of the polluter pays principle and what Sir Dieter is saying is essentially tax the farmer until they’re forced to produce food in a more sustainable way, which as he points out, is a fundamentally different approach from public money for public goods, where at the minute farmers are essentially being paid, incentivised to do that. And I think that is the correct approach because farmers are being forced and have for generations been forced to essentially inflict damage on the environment in producing food. Because that is what society has been and that’s what market economics has been demanding of them. You know why? Why is organic still only 2% of the market? Because fundamentally that’s the maximum percentage of the market. That’s market saturation. That’s the maximum number of people who are willing to buy organic produce because it costs more. So there’s no point taxing farmers into producing more expensive food that then people won’t be able to afford to buy. There has to be other mechanisms to support farmers to move away from polluting practices, but those are the polluting practices that they are being forced to essentially do. In order to produce the food at an affordable price point. So taxing farmers is not the solution.”


Government policy means that land is being grabbed away from farmers to be used for solar panels, carbon-credit forestation or development. While we already only produce 62% of our food, UK food production will decline by a third by 2050.

Listen; Food security, BBC Farming Today, 8 November 2025

Presenter; “There are ever increasing demands on our land. We need it not just for growing food, but also for new housing, a space for nature, renewable energy and more. The list is a long one. Debate over which land should be used for which goal is intensifying and we’re going to be talking a lot about it over the coming months, not least because a government land use strategy is in the pipeline. This week, a cross party group of MPs added their voice, warning that UK food production could drop by almost a third by 2050. The All Party Parliamentary Group on Science and Technology in Agriculture also says that by 2050, in a worst case scenario, almost a quarter of UK farmland could be used for other purposes. The Conservative MP for Mid Norfolk, George Freeman, chairs the group. He told Charlotte why they believe that the UK’s productive farmland needs to be protected.”

George Freeman MP; “Now the UK is only at 62% of our food produced domestically. It’s only 15% of fruit and 53% in vegetables. The pandemic showed us we have to be more resilient. The government’s recognised that. So the key now is to support UK farmers to grow more of our food using fewer of the chemical and other inputs and reducing our water and plastic. That requires data. We’ve got the technology to do it. What we haven’t got is the policy.”


Though Brexit was sold as a promise to take back control of trade, it is in fact opening our markets to imports from across the globe. Hence our corporate captured government is destroying our farmers by yet another trade agreement that will end our sugar producers’ protection from cheap global imports.

Listen; 325 thousand tonnes of raw cane sugar, sourced from anywhere in the world, will be tariff-free from 1st January BBC Farming Today, 3 December 2025

Dr John Glenn; “We have a situation where sugar producers in the United Kingdom have been protected for a large number of years, and as a result of that, the production of raw sugar beet has been a relatively profitable thing to do. What we’ve now seen is that with the exit of the UK from Brexit, farming has not got as many protectionist barriers as it previously had. One of the costs of Brexit for the farming community is reduced protection. If you then look at this from a consumer’s perspective, one could argue that we’ve been paying a higher price for sugar than would be the case if we didn’t have the protection.”


Separating a calf from its mother at birth is cruel and unnecessary but, like many farming practices, is forced on farmers to compete with cheap imports. While this cruelty must end in the UK, the farmer must be protected from cheap imported milk.

Listen; Keep cows with their newborn calves for longer BBC Farming Today, 2 December 2025

‘A farmer is calling on the Scottish Government to fund a multi-million pound dairy development programme which would encourage farmers to keep cows with their newborn calves for longer. David Finlay has been pioneering the unconventional system on his farm near Kirkcudbright – which is now the largest commercial ‘cow-with-calf’ dairy in Europe.’

David Finlay; “What I’ve found is that we can carry 25% more cows on the farm because the younger and maturing so much faster, the cows are yielding 25% more milk. So the system is actually more efficient, more productive, more healthy and more profitable.”

Presenter; “David’s now calling on the Scottish government to match the EU’s multi million pound cow-with-calf dairy development programme.”

David Finlay; “We can deliver all the things that society say they want, sustainability, food security, animal welfare, social welfare. It’s about government recognising the opportunity here for Scotland to become a world leader and to harness that.”


This explains why in a school of 1,000 japanese kids where processed food is banned, not one of them is fat

Watch; How Japan’s Schools Raise Healthy Kids HealthierThanYesterday, 19 November 2025

“All the kids walk to school on their own. From the age of five, all Japanese children just leave the house and walk to school on their own. So they get a lot of exercise in the morning and they walk home on their own as well. By law, every Japanese school has to employ a professional nutritionist. It’s a difficult qualification to get. It’s three years of study on top of learning to be a teacher, and your job is to design and oversee the creation of the food in the school. All processed food is banned, there’s no processed food in any Japanese schools ever. Every meal has to be prepared from scratch at the start of the day, and no one is allowed to bring in a packed lunch, so every kid has to eat the food that’s prepared in the school. So if you look at a typical Japanese meal, it will have five portions, significantly more than us, but they’re pretty small. Some fish, some miso soup, a whole range of things. Her job is also to use those meals to educate the children about how to eat healthily. So they teach them all sorts of key principles. And so she stands in front of the class and teaches the kids, okay, this is a red rope, this represents calcium, what does calcium do? Kids go, ah, it makes your bones stronger. Yes, that’s this on your plate. This represents carbohydrates, what do they do? They give you energy, kids yell out and then she ties the rope together. She says, you see, now it’s all tied together, now it’s a balanced meal. So they use this healthy food to educate the children about how to eat healthily. It’s a very beautifully designed system and it was fascinating looking at them. This is a school of a thousand children. I walked through that school all day, there was not one fat child.”


Big Pharma and food companies make record profits while farmers get poorer and people get chronically sick.

Laraine Abbey-Katzer; “Secretary Kennedy, he’s up against such powerful forces, the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, all of whom have no interest in health or anything, they don’t want to spend money reformulating their food products. And certainly the whole pharmaceutical arena, they profit by sick people. If everybody was healthy, they wouldn’t even need pharmaceuticals, so obviously it’s a threat to these industries. Bobby is a big threat.”

Paul Thomas MD; “I was naive and right out of medical school thinking, we’re going to go save the world and pharmaceutical industry is our partner in this, I was pretty naive not realising that actually if you really look at what’s happened over the last few decades, the pharmaceutical industry is all about making profit, period. And they profit when kids are chronically ill, or adults for that matter, so if there’s anything they can give a prescription for that treats the symptoms but doesn’t treat the underlying condition, you’ve got a lifelong customer.

Vaccines destroy the immune system. You end up with autoimmunity, and then for autoimmunity, they’ve got all these immunosuppressants. Big money- maker. You suppress the immune system, what do you get? Infections and cancer. Cancer, huge money maker. The whole thing is a vicious cycle of using us as their atms. It’s horrible.”


The wonderful David Bellamy was axed by the BBC because he said man-made climate change was poppycock.

Presenter; “Now you’ve been visiting New Zealand for many, many years and you’re known throughout the world for your work. But of late you’ve caused controversy and become, I suppose, something of a pariah as a result of your views on climate change, which you’ve called a poppycock. What is your view? Do you believe man made climate change is happening?”

David Bellamy; ” Absolutely not… because there is no actual proof. There are a whole series of computer models and you can fiddle, computer models to say what you’d like. If you actually look at the fact that for the last 10 years man-made global warming, if it was working, has stopped because the temperatures have gone down and right at the bottom we’re heading for… 30 years…pretty cold thing. You’ve just had wonderful ski seasons, haven’t we, around the world. There is no proof at all scientifically. They were just models.”

Presenter; “You actually say that the current warming of the planet that we are experiencing is going to be good for this planet. Why do you say that?”

David Bellamy; “Well, we could grow more food in Siberia, …and of course, if you go back 2,000 years ago in Britain, we were growing good Merlot in the borders of Scotland and that was 3 degrees to 5 degrees warmer than it is now. And then we had the Little Ice Age and everyone,…we fought each other…it is climate change and there is absolutely nothing…we’re talking about 0.7 degrees Celsius rise. I go out… a cloud comes over and it changes that much. It is a total poppycock.”


Watch; They want your land, your food, your children sick by 2030, whistleblower 8888, 6 August 2025

“Remember how I said earlier in this speech, that the farmers need to give up their farms before 2030, specifically that year, so that’s not a coincidence, that year doesn’t come out of nowhere, that year is basically the deadline that our global elites have given our country and will probably give you to abide by these new regulations. And that agenda is called the 2030 Agenda. And now I have a slide showing you what that entails. So the 2030 agenda is a United Nations agenda. So there we go, everybody is part of the United Nations, right? The entire world, and this agenda consists of seventeen what they call Sustainable Development Goals, and when you take a look at them right there, you’re like, well, what’s wrong with that? They all seem very noble, no poverty, no hunger, who could be against that? However, if we take a closer look at how they actually want to accomplish all of this, anybody with two functioning brain cells realises that this cannot happen unless there is an active and maybe even forceful redistribution of goods, foods, property and our rights, which basically comes down to the obliteration of all of our basic liberties and our rights. And these goals, as I said, are not restricted solely to the Netherlands. They are global. And that’s where we see their true motive. The people behind this want to establish a one-world government, a new world order in which they decide what we eat, when we eat, where we travel, when we travel, who we meet and what we are allowed to spend our money on, basically control over every single aspect of our lives. And I’m sure that many of you have heard the famous sentence from Klaus Schwab where he says, ‘you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy’. That’s this agenda. So why are the people behind this agenda specifically targeting farmers? Well, it’s because obviously they really want our way of life and the things that we eat to radically change. They don’t want us to eat foods that make us strong. They want us to eat synthetic meat created by Bill Gates, they want us to eat bugs, they want us to drink soy milk so that we become weak and obedient, and we do as they say and we buy what they offer.”


CO2

Whitney Webb says if Netzero ‘solutions’ are left to Wall Street, they will be for corporate profit and to control peoples lives.

Watch; Fake environmentalism Whitney Webb, 6 June 2025

Whitney Webb; “Why don’t they talk about planting trees? Why isn’t Bill Gates, the largest private landowner in the US, now planting trees like crazy if he’s so worried about carbon dioxide? He poo poos the whole idea of planting trees as a way to combat climate change, it’s just carbon markets and going to electric vehicles and all of this stuff. But electric vehicles necessitates mass mining and a lot of that mining is in places that use child labour or it’s going to be so environmentally destructive you totally destroy the developing world, which these people on the left supposedly want to protect. You’re going to totally destroy the environment. But really what it’s about is controlling how much energy people can use. And if you control how much energy a household can use, you can control their economic activity. You also control how big their family can get. It’s fear-driven to get people to accept policies they otherwise wouldn’t accept because they’re told this cataclysmic event is just down the line. And ‘trust us’ again is the conclusion of that. There’s people that agree with the narrative about climate change and there’s people that don’t. And I’m not trying to really get in that space when I talk about this stuff. I’m trying to point out that the solutions are coming mostly from Wall Street. And then you have people like Larry Fink of BlackRock and Michael Bloomberg and Mark Carney coming together and something like GFANZ saying why don’t we give Wall Street direct control of the IMF and the World Bank for climate change? How can anyone on the left that’s worried about climate change sign off on that?”

‘In this conversation, Jerm and “Esc” (or “Escape”), a sharp analyst known for dissecting the engineered simulations of globalist agendas, unpack the rigged challenges of forecasting future scenarios, zeroing in on carbon emissions and so-called social justice as tools for elite control. Esc highlights the built-in flaws of long-term projections based on skimpy data that breed deliberate uncertainty, while exposing how carbon credit schemes are designed to mould consumer habits by weaving in social, health, and other arbitrary metrics, potentially locking down choices via sneaky three-party systems that echo technocratic overreach.

They dig into how these setups let social justice pretexts and manufactured health crises dictate what folks can buy or access, underscoring the twisted fusion of economic traps with environmental hoaxes where tech “advancements” serve as props for manipulated decisions.

The chat stresses grasping the real ties between emissions myths and equity scams as key to thwarting the top-down planning that benefits hidden powers over genuine freedom.

Very funny ‘Yes Prime Minister’-esque skit on climate change.

Watch; This was satire in 2013,but a sad reality in 2025 Stacked, 29 July 2025

“I have returned with the answer to all your problems, Global warming!”

“I thought you were against it.”

“Everybody’s against it, Prime Minister. I suddenly realised that is the beauty of it. We can get a unanimous agreement with all of our European partners to do something about it.”

” But how can we do something about something that isn’t happening?”

“It’s much easier to solve an imaginary problem than a real one.”

“Do you believe it’s real? Do you?

I don’t know.

Neither do I. I haven’t got the faintest idea. But it doesn’t matter what we think. If everyone else thinks it’s real, they’ll all want to stop it, so long as it doesn’t cost too much. So the question now is, what are we going to do about it?”

“But if it isn’t happening, what can. We do about it? “

“Oh, there’s so much we can do, Prime Minister. We can impose taxes. We can stiffen European rules about carbon emissions. Rubbish disposal. We can make massive investments in wind turbines. We can in fact. Prime Minister, under your leadership, agree to save the world. “

“Well, I like that”

“But Russia, India, China, Brazil, they’ll never cooperate.”

“They don’t have to. We simply ask them to review their emissions policy.”

“Will they? “

“Yes. And then they’ll decide not to change it. So we’ll set up a series of international conferences. Meanwhile, Prime Minister, you can talk about the future of the planet. Yes. You can look statesmanlike and it’ll be 50 years before anybody can possibly prove you’re wrong. And you can explain away anything you said before by saying the computer models were flawed.”

“The voters will love me.”

“You’ll have more government expenditure”.

“Yes. How will we pay for it? We’re broke”.

“We impose a special global warming tax on fuel now, but we phase in the actual expenditure gradually, say, over 50 years. That will get us out of the hole. Now, the Germans will be pleased. They have a big green movement. And we can even get the frogs. On board, as long as they get more benefits than everyone else.”

“My broadcast is on Sunday morning. You have a day to get the conference to agree. That’s not a problem. The delegates will be desperate for something to announce when they get home.”

“There is one problem. Nothing will have actually been achieved.”

“It will sound as though it has, so people will think it has. That’s all that matters.”


Geoengineering

The US government has finally admitted that chemtrails are real. It’s called geoengineering and it’s far worse than anything you imagined. Dane Wigington explains.

Watch; US Government Admits Chemtrails Are Real (It’s Worse Than You Think). Dane Wigington Reveals All; Tucker Carlson, 10 November 2025

Dane Wigington; “When I built my off-grid home in Northern California, middle of the wilderness, it was on the cover of the world’s largest renewable energy magazine. I have solar, wind and hydrogen and I was losing on some days from what these aircraft were emitting, 50, 60, even 70% of my solar uptake from what these aircraft were emitting. I knew that could not be condensation. When I began to research, I was very surprised at the mountain of information on geoengineering, solar radiation management. And I looked for primary elements. I began to test my precipitation. I hoped I would not find these elements in my rain because I knew if I did, it would change the entire course of my life. I cannot look the other way. I came up with 7 parts per billion in my first rain test over the next 18 months, because I took that long in researching before I was willing to speak out on this issue. At the end of 18 months, I had single rain events with 3,450 parts per billion of aluminium in my rain. This is bio-available freeform aluminium, which is toxic to all life forms, period. Primary element named in climate engineering patents. And we have the world’s most recognised geoengineers, specifically stating on film, on the record, their goal of using aluminium in these programmes because of its high reflectivity with no consideration of the consequences. That’s how I got into this battle.

And I have friends in the solar industry who, off the record, inform me that some of the commercial solar plants are producing half their design output and they won’t talk about why because they don’t want to lose subsidies. So again, this is a very known element in many fields. In fact, with the nation’s weathermen, National Weather Service and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), there is an illegal federal gag order on all agency operations with those two entities. Why would our government feel the need to gag the weathermen? I had a NOAA scientist state to my face, quote, ‘we all know this is going on, we have no first amendment protection. We don’t know what to do.’ So the bottom line is, let’s all just pretend this isn’t going on while it’s virtually dismantling the planet’s primary life support systems and ubiquitously contaminating everything everywhere. Not just talking about aluminium we have in lab tests, and again, we’ve done hundreds of lab tests. We did 500 working with the University of Minnesota, an internationally recognised agricultural institution. We have aluminium, barium, strontium, manganese, surfactants, polymer fibres, graphene, all of this coming down in our breathable air column, Tucker.”


Censorship / Surveillance / Coercion/ Corruption / Blackmail

Read or Listen; Review judge pulled from Palestine Action hearing at last hour, in patent stitch-up; Jonathan Cook, 25 November 2025

‘The High Court judge who granted a legal challenge to the government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action – the first time in British history a civil-disobedience organisation has been declared a terrorist group, one now treated as on a par with al-Qaeda – has been removed at the last minute.

The judicial review hearing is due to start tomorrow without Justice Martin Chamberlain. He will be replaced with a panel of three judges.

Justice Chamberlain did not suffer any timetabling conflicts. The Justice Ministry declined to offer any explanation for such a highly irregular change.

The outcome of the case will affect thousands of ordinary British citizens who have opposed the government’s anti-democratic proscription decision. They currently face jail sentences, and terrorism convictions, for holding placards saying: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

Some oppose proscription because they believe civil disobedience of the kind used by Palestine Action, which targets arms factories supplying Israel with weapons used to slaughter Palestinian children, is the only effective way to put pressure on the government to stop colluding in the Gaza genocide.

Others hope to make the proscription unenforceable through mass defiance and thereby salvage one of the most fundamental democratic rights – the right to protest – from government assault.

Notably, this is not the first time Justice Chamberlain, who is noted for his independence, has been removed unexpectedly from a judicial review hearing in an Israel-related case. Earlier this year, he was replaced by two other judges after he granted a legal challenge to the government’s continuing sale of parts for F-35 jets to Israel, despite the fighter plane’s use in the killing of many tens of thousands of civilians and the destruction of more than 80 per cent of all buildings in Gaza.

A panel of three judges will now sit in place of Justice Chamberlain.’


Read; Doctors have accused Government ministers of “weaponising antisemitism” to silence healthcare professionals from speaking out against the genocide in Gaza Susan McNairey, 25 November 2025

BMJ; ‘Doctors have accused Government ministers of “weaponising antisemitism” to silence healthcare professionals from speaking out against the genocide in Gaza.

In a letter sent to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), Doctors in Unite—physician members of the trade union Unite—said government plans to tackle racism and antisemitism in the NHS are “racist and dangerous” and should be abandoned.

The letter is backed by 23 organisations, including Jewish Voice for Liberation and Health Workers and Allies for Palestine.

It was launched in response to a government plan to “end the scourge of antisemitism” in the NHS, which was announced last month.

As part of the plan, the government appointed John Mann to lead a rapid review into how healthcare regulators tackle antisemitism and racism, and said mandatory “enhanced” antisemitism and antiracism training will be rolled out to all NHS staff.

NHS staff would also be banned from wearing political symbols or clothing at work under the plans.

This action was launched following concerns over how regulators were handling the case of British Palestinian doctor Rahmeh Aladwan, who was allowed to continue practising pending a full hearing into allegations she had made antisemitic remarks.

Doctors in Unite argued the government’s plans are “authoritarian and discriminatory against Palestinians,” however.

They claimed it will “elevate antisemitism above other forms of racism in the NHS” while entrenching “pro-Israel political bias into mandatory training for all 1.5 million NHS workers.”

The letter also accused the government of “weaponising” antisemitism rather than tackling racism in all its forms.

Earlier this month, the NHS Race and Health Observatory announced a new scheme to tackle “rampant levels of bullying and harassment” experienced by ethnic minority staff in the health service.

This came after an open letter to The BMJ from doctors and healthcare staff warned that a rising “wave of racism” and far right groups in the UK is affecting patients and staff.

Ethnic minority doctors are reportedly trying to relocate as far right activity is making them fear for the safety of their families.

“As health workers we demand the right to express solidarity and support for Palestine in the NHS, and an immediate end to the repression of NHS staff for doing so,” Doctors in Unite said. “Tackling racism in the NHS is vital, but it must be done in ways that recognise all forms of racism are equally harmful, without weaponising one form of racism to pursue foreign policy objectives.”

The group has also raised concerns over the government’s call for NHS England to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.

Critics of the IHRA definition and its accompanying examples—including experts on antisemitism and Jewish studies and international human rights groups such as Amnesty International—say it has been used to stop people criticising the actions of the Israeli government.

Earlier this year, doctors at the BMA’s annual representative meeting passed four motions relating to the situation in Gaza, including one stating that “criticism of the actions of the state of Israel is not per se antisemitic.”

Doctors in Unite chair Coral Jones said, “The government is embarking on wholesale repression in the NHS to try to silence health workers from speaking out against the bombing of hospitals and the detention, torture, and killing of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

“It ordered the DHSC to fly the Israeli flag from its headquarters and encouraged all of us to support Ukraine against Russia, but when it comes to health workers showing solidarity with Palestine, we are being victimised, disciplined, and even suspended from work, on the grounds of so-called ‘political neutrality’.”

Jewish-led organisation, the Jewish Voice for Liberation, have backed Doctors in Unite’s statement.

Its chair Jenny Manson and environment officer Tony Booth said, “We support this important statement by Doctors in Unite in response to the government’s partisan attempt to curb the expression of opposition to the genocide of Palestinians and all manifestations of support for Palestinian rights.”

Meanwhile, Huda Mahmoud, chair of Global Health Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions for Palestine, said, “As a Palestinian, the banning of Palestinian symbols or representations of Palestinian advocacy as ‘too political’ is undoubtedly a form of cultural erasure.

“Essentially, it is saying any representation of your identity as a Palestinian or your solidarity with the Palestinian people shall not be seen or heard.”


Tucker interviews George Galloway who is living in exile from the UK’s totalitarian regime.

Watch; George Galloway Speaks Out on Being Forced Into Exile After Criticising Ukraine War; Tucker Carlson, 28 November 2025

‘George Galloway has been elected to parliament seven times, and on many issues is one of the most conservative politicians in the U.K. But when he criticised the Ukraine war, he was detained by British police and had his property confiscated. He’s now in exile.’

Tucker Carlson; “George Galloway, thank you very much for doing this. I’m sitting in London, in the City of London right now. I’m an American. You’re a citizen of the country I’m sitting in. But you’re not in this country, you’re in another country. Why are you there and when are you coming back?

George Galloway; “Well, it’s a long and difficult story, it started last month when my good wife and I were detained but not arrested by the anti terrorism police at Gatwick Airport in London. Now, ponder that piece of Kafka-esque framing. You are not under arrest, but you are not free to leave. These pistol packing anti terrorist cops said, ‘you have no right to silence and if you refuse to answer any of our questions, you will automatically be guilty under the Terrorism Act of an act in defiance of that very serious act. And the policeman joked, good luck ever getting on an aeroplane again’.

Now to complete the framing. I’m 71 years old, seven times elected member of Parliament, a member of the British Parliament, across five decades, the leader of a British political party. The biggest broadcaster in Britain, not nearly as big as you, but the biggest British broadcaster in Britain, broadcasting to the largest audience every single week. I’m one of the best known people in the country and I’ve got armed anti terrorist police telling me I’m not under arrest, but I am not free to leave. And of course, it quickly turned out that the purpose of the pool, the detention, was speech. My podcasts, my broadcasts, my tweet output, my Facebook output. That’s the Britain that we now have today. We spent four hours in my case, five hours in my wife’s case, in two separate rooms surrounded by armed police officers being questioned about our political views. And in my wife’s case, her fingernail, which is painted rather nicely, is in the Palestine colours. Now, if you had told me eight weeks ago that such a thing was even remotely possible, I would not have believed you. There is no more patriotic British citizen than me. In the last decade, Mr. Carson, I fought two major battles for the British state. 2014, the Spectator said my speeches saved the Union when Scotland’s separatist referendum looked very much like it was going to succeed. And 2016, I was one of the leading figures in the Brexit movement trying to win Britain’s independence. And so here I am sitting in a police station in Gatwick Airport with armed men questioning me on my political views. So the trauma of all that, to be honest, being outside of the country is the least of it. If I tell you, and nobody knows this except you and me and whoever watches, it literally broke my heart. I now have a cardiologist. I’m a man who never lost a day through illness at work in my entire life, and, and now I have a heart condition, arrhythmic arrhythmia, which the consultant cardiologist, a very fine one, tells me is of recent provenance. So you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out that these cops actually broke my heart.”

Tucker Carlson; “First of all, let me just commend you for your very long string of good calls. You were against the Iraq war, you were against Scottish secession and you were for Brexit. So I don’t think there are many people who can say they’re right in all three, but I’m confused as to why a 70 year old former Member of Parliament would be considered a terror threat. And what was the pretext for doing this to you? Do you know?”

George Galloway; “Well, the Terror act, through which I sat in its passage and opposed every line, precisely because of the possibility of its abuse in this kind of way allows the police to seize your documents, seize your telephone, your laptop, seize everything, only at the port. They would need a warrant to do it anywhere else in the country, and they’d be very unlikely to get one in regard to me. But they saw the opportunity of stopping me under that act and divesting me of my whole life, everything. My parliamentary correspondence, my legal correspondence, my personal family pictures, my political correspondence, the members of my party, the membership list of my party, and they took it. And this is precisely the abuse of the war terrorism that you saw in London yesterday, where old ladies, old men, people in wheelchairs, blind people, are being arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding up a placard, a little piece of cardboard at their breasts, and they are being taken away under terrorism charges. This is the nightmare that is Britain. Your stature will definitely not be a cause for your being huckled in the way that I was. You are a very big global figure. They wouldn’t dare to touch you, to get your telephone, to get your laptop. But if they could even do it to me, then I ask you to ponder just who would be safe in Britain from that. So, to complete my answer to your first question, I’m not going back to Britain until I know that that will not happen again, not least because of the health problem that it has given me after the first time. And they will not give me an assurance that it will not happen again. And if you think about it, why Would it not happen again? Because it happened because of my broadcasts and the fact that the British state and the stummer Keir Starmer, who leads it for the moment at least, don’t like what I say on my podcast. Well, I’m still broadcasting every Sunday and Wednesday and I still have the same point of view, so there’s no guarantee whatsoever that the same thing wouldn’t happen to me again. My wife couldn’t sleep or eat for weeks after it. She’s already thin. She lost 10 pounds nearly in weight as a result of the trauma of this occasion. We knew that it had happened to other people, but we didn’t think that we would be regarded as other people because of the position I have over 50 years in politics in Great Britain. But it did happen and it could happen again.”

Tucker Carlson; ” What did they accuse you of doing wrong? Had you called for armed insurrection against the Starmer government, or what was their claim?”

George Galloway; ” No, I don’t even believe in that, never mind call for it. I believe in democracy. I believe in freedom of speech. That’s the problem. We are governed by a Prime Minister and a pygmy cabinet which rubber stamps every cockamanie scheme he has to take us into war with Russia. Now, I don’t want to go to war with Russia, not for Russia’s sake, but for Britain’s sake. For the sake of the British people whose blood and treasure would be burned, and the British people whose country might disappear into cinders and ash underneath their feet if such a war were to take place. So the proximate reason, insofar as one can glean it from four hours of circumlocution, is that I oppose the British government’s policy towards Russia. Now, I might be right on that, I might be wrong on that, but as John Stuart Mill points out, if you deny a point of view, the right to be heard, the loser is not the person with that point of view, but the rest of us, because we will not hear what might actually turn out to have been good advice. But that’s not the way these social democrats, social democrats, Christian democrats all across Europe have put the lights out on freedom of speech, lights out on democracy. They’re interfering in elections, they’re cancelling other people’s elections, they are throttling free and independent media, they are bankrolling stooge media to try and crowd out. They are threatening the social media platforms with sanction and even closure if they don’t kowtow to the prevailing orthodoxy. And I’m afraid Britain is in the vanguard of all of that.

“And again, I make this point. I’m not saying this because I hate Britain, but because I love it. It is an ache for me to be outside of my country all of this time. I have children there, I have a house there, I have a very keen addiction to the English Premiership in football, soccer, you call it. I’m torn from all of that, I’m torn from my family and friends, so it’s a dull ache for me. But it’s not as painful as another armed arrest by the anti terrorism squad would be. So for the time being, it looks like my wife and I are around the world in 80 days.”


According to the prosecution in this Orwellian case, it would be an offence to quote UN Resolution 37/43

Read; The Terrifying Case of Natalie Strecker Craig Murray, 2 December 2025

‘I am confident that over 2 million people in the UK have shared thoughts on the Genocide in Gaza that are stronger than anything Natalie Strecker has expressed.

I am quite certain that I am one of those 2 million.

Yet Natalie Strecker, an avowed pacifist, today faces up to ten years in prison under the Terrorism Act when the verdict in her case comes in.

Strecker is charged with eliciting support for Hamas and Hezbollah, based on 8 tweets, cherry-picked by police and prosecutors from an astounding 51,000 tweets she sent, mainly from the Jersey Palestine Solidarity Committee account.

The tweets were rather rattled off in court and referred to occasionally again in whole and in part. There may be minor inaccuracies not affecting sense, but this is the best reconstruction of those tweets that I can make (they were not displayed to the public):

“People will be individually resisting: otherwise we would be asking them to submit to genocide on their knees”

“Solidarity with the people of Lebanon and Hezbollah has the right to resist in international law, I remind you the occupier does not, and are legally obligated to try to prevent Genocide.”

“Solidarity with the resistance. In the same way that the resistance fought the Nazis in Europe, we must support the fight against the Nazis of our generation”.

“Resistance is their legal right under moral and international law. If you don’t want resistance, then don’t create the circumstances which require it. Solidarity with the Resistance.”

“This nonsense our nation has descended into, where one side is committing genocide, and the other is proscribed for fighting it. I believe Hezbollah may be Palestine’s last hope”.

“Hamas the resistance did not break out of their concentration camp to attack Jews as Jews. We can debate whether armed resistance is legitimate. Of course there should be no attacks on civilians.”

“I am sick of the MSM propaganda about “Hamas-run health ministry figures”. Hamas is the government in Gaza. Every health ministry in the world is run by its government.”

“Are you awake? So it is down to ordinary people like you an me to end it. We must take our power back. Join me in solidarity with the people of Lebanon and Palestine. Solidarity with the Resistance.”

That is it. The prosecution case is that these tweets, both collectively and individually, amount to an invitation of support for Hamas and Hezbollah resulting in up to ten years in jail in Jersey, or 14 years in jail on the UK mainland.

The prosecution explicitly stated, and the judge notably intervened to make sure that everybody understood, that it is the offence of supporting terrorism to state that the Palestinians have the right to armed resistance in international law.

Judge John Saunders interrupted the prosecution to ask whether they were saying that he would be guilty of support for terrorism if, in a lecture, he told an international law class that Palestinians have the right to armed resistance in international law.

After some kerfuffle when faced with such an awkward question, the prosecution replied that yes, it could be the offence to tell law students that.’


Watch; Prof David Miller @Tracking_Power reacts to the victorious acquittal of Natalie Strecker @JerseyPSC and cites it as ‘abuse by the British State’ Sarah Wilkinson, 3 December 2025

David Miller; “We just heard that Natalie Strecker has been found not guilty of terrorism charges in Jersey in her trial, which is an amazing victory for anti-zionists, which is one of a long list of victories which we’ve had recently, which we’ve discussed previously. And she was charged with inviting support for a banned organisation for in particular Hamas and Hezbollah. And she of course wasn’t doing any such thing, but she was supporting saying that under international law the Palestinians have the right to resist by all available means, including armed struggle. And this shows that the courts, even the courts, when they are presented with cases by the police like this, will not convict because they recognise that there’s a distinction to be made between the narrow question of proscription of Hamas and Hezbollah and the wider question of the right of Palestinians to resist. So we are looking at a number of victories. Now. It looks to me, of course the zionists will have victories, but it looks to me like these numbers of victories are picking up and that we face the possibility of the collapse of the zionist narrative in the courts. I don’t think it’ll happen immediately, but that’s the hope and we hope it happens sooner rather than later. Natalie is a well known pro-Palestine campaigner, has been at the centre of Jersey Palestine Solidarity for years and she has been frankly, through this process, abused by the state. She should never have been charged. Amongst the charges against her were messages that she allegedly sent on a private signal group. In fact, when the prosecution started, the police were alleging that she had sent particular messages which she hadn’t actually sent. I was in that signal group and I was aware that she hadn’t sent those messages and that they had been sent by other people. Nevertheless, the court tried to pursue that, the police tried to pursue that. They had to drop those charges. She’s been put through a whole year, fear of hell for nothing, a total waste of time, of police resources, of court resources, and I hope that she finds a way to gain justice for this and to fight back against the ridiculous attempt to prosecute her.”


Electronic Intifada on Twitter;

6 pro-Palestinian political prisoners have been on hunger strike for up to a month: their health’s failing; the British prison system doesn’t care

‘Six political prisoners in British jails associated with the banned group Palestine Action have now been on hunger strike for up to a month.

They are demanding to be released on bail, the right to a fair trial and an immediate end to what they say is their persecution by the British government.

Most have already been held on remand far longer than the normal six-month maximumwhich the law allows before trial.

On the latest episode of The Electronic Intifada podcast, the sister of Kamran Ahmed, one of the hunger strikers, told us that her brother’s condition is deteriorating rapidly.’


Watch; A compromised man is a controlled man MiddleEastEye, 21 November 2025

Soumaya Ghannoushi; “Flight logs, guest lists, island rumours, the whole circus, but buried beneath the noise, almost deliberately blurred, lies the actual story, the thread that ties everything together, the Israeli connection. And trust me, once you see it, you can’t unsee it, because the Epstein links didn’t just reveal a falling financier, they opened a door the American establishment hoped would remain firmly locked. The door that leads straight into the machinery of America. And what emerges is, well, let’s call it what it is, a vice network, a triangular system built on money, politics and sex, each side feeding the other, and at the centre of it all, a foreign influence machine that has spent decades learning exactly how to capture the world’s most powerful elite. And Epstein, he wasn’t an accident, he wasn’t a rogue actor, he wasn’t even particularly clever, he was the face, the charming, disgusting, well-connected face of something far bigger. Think about it. His closest confidant, Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Robert Maxwell, a man whose Mossad ties are practically an open secret. His business ties? Running through Ehud Barak, the former Israeli Prime Minister who kept visiting Epstein even after the conviction. And conveniently headed Carbyne, an Israeli security tech firm Epstein invested in. And then there’s the revelation from Drop Site News. Yoni Koren, a senior Israeli intelligence officer, literally living in Epstein’s Manhattan home for long stretches between 2013 and 2016. Living in his house. Can you tell me, does that sound like a man orbiting intelligence circles or a man at their very centre? But possibly the most disturbing revelation isn’t about Epstein at all. It’s about the elite who flock to him. From Texas boardrooms to Abu Dhabi palaces, falling over him like he was the Maitre D’ or of the Global Park Club. Because he was the key holder, the man who could get you into rooms normal politicians only dreamt of, rooms where consequences vanished and appetites reigned. Epstein’s world, the island, the jets, the apartments, wasn’t a playground. It was a trap. A factory of leverage, a catalogue of weaknesses. A one stop compromat shop. And here’s the bitter truth. A compromised man is a controlled man. A guilty man is an obedient man who would sign anything. And a man terrified of exposure, well, he’s practically gift wrapped for whoever wants to use him.


Yes, the western model of development has created a civilisation where we lie, cheat and steal.

Watch; There’s no question of if they’re lying, MiddleNation, 21 November 2025

Shahid Bolsen; “Anything that comes out of the West, you need to interrogate that meticulously. You don’t need to try to find out if they’re lying. You have to identify how they’re lying and about what. There’s no question of if, there’s no question of if they’re lying. And yes, Westerners need to know this too, you need to recognise and acknowledge this too, if you have any sincere desire whatsoever to change and to make a contribution to this world. I am identifying and exposing the dysfunction of western so-called civilisation and I’m not doing that to try to shame anyone. This is something that has been done to you by your society, by your culture, and it is detrimental to every single individual in that society. And you deserve to be normal people. Yes, you deserve to be capable of honesty and capable of genuine discourse and dialogue, but until that dysfunctional psyche is repaired, you’re simply not capable. We need to understand this ourselves. Muslims and all of the people in the global south need to understand this ourselves about you. Because, Wallahi, I think that one of the biggest mistakes, one of the biggest vulnerabilities that we have had historically is that we have not understood this about you. We have actually tried to deal with you as if you are normal people, as if we’re on the same wavelength, as if we operate in the world in the same way and we do not. We’re not on the same wavelength and we don’t operate the same. People who believe in the noble origin of humanity and people who believe that human beings are beasts are never going to operate in the world the same way. They’re never going to be on the same wavelength. So we have to deal with you as the predatory animals that you believe you are. Understand, this is not us calling you that. This is what you believe about yourselves. And we would be fools to not deal with you accordingly, you understand? Especially after enduring and suffering centuries of you acting exactly like that. And look, it’s not that we see you this way. We’re Muslims. We believe that you are the children of Adam, just like us. You are our brothers and sisters in humanity and we want you to live up to that noble heritage. That’s what we want for you. But you still think that you can learn how to act by watching chimpanzees and watching wolves and predatory animals and so on. So no, we can’t afford to deal with you according to the way that we would like you to be. We have to deal with you according to the way you are. And that’s on you. No one’s going to change you but yourselves. We can’t change you. Your civilisational psyche is oppressive to you, and it has made you oppressive to the rest of the world. So, yes, we hope you can change for your own sake, and for our sake, we hope you can change. But until that change happens, and I mean really happens, because every time that you’ve ever told us that you’ve changed, it’s always been nothing but a lie. Until you actually change, the best way that we can deal with you is by doing our best to try to not have to deal with you at all. That’s the truth.”


Councilors are being trained to use drones to spy on us

Watch; Local council drones: Spies in the skies; UK Column News, 1 December 2025

Big Brother Watch Video; “Your local council might soon be watching you from the sky. No, not a conspiracy theory, a Freedom of Information request just revealed dozens of UK councils are training staff to fly surveillance drones. And they’re not just using them for pretty landscape shots. More than 60 councils already have drone pilots authorised by the Civil Aviation Authority, and 12 councils have contacted the regulator asking about drone laws. Translation, council officers are getting aerial surveillance capability, and fast. All funded by taxpayers or with barely any public discussion. Councils insist drones will tackle things like fly-tipping, antisocial behaviour, planning disputes, structural surveys and coastal erosion. So that makes sense, but the slippery part is buried in the details, enforcement, fines and supporting law enforcement teams, that’s where the line blurs. Hammersmith and Fulham wants drones to boost a 70-strong law enforcement team already issuing thousands of fines. Some councils plan to use the AI-powered facial recognition alongside drone footage. A few of the areas are in flight restricted zones meaning councils are flying drones in places the public legally can’t. Well, that doesn’t sound dangerous. Big Brother Watch says it outright. This risks becoming spies in the sky. Britain already has some of the heaviest CCTV surveillance in the world, add drones and you’ve got mobile cameras that can peer into gardens, windows, workplaces or anywhere public enough to justify it. When councils say it’s about safety, they actually mean we don’t have enough police, so we’ll surveil you ourselves. When they say it’s about fly tipping, they mean new fines incoming.”


Bernie Sanders describes how AI is being used in the US to benefit moneyed interests, not to provide people with affordable housing or health care. We have the same structural bias here in the UK.

Watch; Do you see AI as a positive development for your future? Bernie Sanders, 30 November 2025

Bernie Sanders; “Just raise your hand, for your own lives as young people, do you see AI as a positive development for your future? Raise your hand. Are you concerned about it being a negative impact on your future?

“Wow. Okay, most of the hands went up. I will tell you this right now in this country, you are living in what I refer to as an oligarchic form of society, where a small number of very powerful people are moving aggressively in the area of AI. They were powerful before they did that, have enormous control over the economy and the political life of this country. Musk for example, contributed $270 million to make Trump the President. So it is not only AI, it is not only climate change, it’s not only the economy, it’s not only health care. You are living in the richest country in the history of the world and if we had a rational system designed to improve life for all people, there are extraordinary things that we could be doing. Yes, education could be free – from child care to graduate school. Yes, we can have universal health care. Yes, we could lead the world in transforming our energy system. Yes, we could build the units of affordable and low income housing that we need. These are not utopian radical ideas. We could do it if you have a government that is concerned about the needs of ordinary people. If you have a government concerned and dominated by the rich, they will get tax breaks, they will get deregulation, they will be able to produce more carbon emissions, et cetera. So the real question to me is a fundamental political question, and we need your generation, and we’re seeing progress, I got to tell you, all over the country standing up and creating a government that works for all of us and not just the big money interest, that, to me, is the issue.”


Referencing the lies around the Covid 19 vaccine narrative, Andrew Bridgen explains why, in our corrupt party system, MPs have no power to speak out or vote according to their convictions, but must follow orders from the PM and the stooges in his Cabinet.

Watch; Former MP Andrew Bridgen on the Total Corruption of Westminster; Resistance GB, 28 November 2025

‘Sandi Adams and former British MP Andrew Bridgen discuss some of the main issues shaping the world today. From the suppression and imprisonment of lawyer Reiner Fuellmich and Andrew’s recent trip to Germany to see him in jail, to the woeful state of British healthcare, this wide-ranging conversation tackles a host of important topics.

The pair discuss assisted dying proposals in the UK, and the risk of shifting human life to a value based on cost, not compassion. It is a sensitive subject with far-reaching consequences, and Andrew brings a perspective rarely heard in mainstream discussion.

The conversation also widens out to the war in Ukraine, the flow of western resources, and the powerful corporate and technological forces shaping global conflict and governance.

Also discussed are emerging AI structures, international partnerships, and digital identity proposals, and how they could redefine freedom here in the UK.

Despite the seriousness of the topics, the interview is ultimately energising and uplifting. Public pressure is working, and people are waking up. If we continue to stand firm against government overreach, and insist on truth and accountability, the tide can and will turn.

This is a conversation for anyone who senses that the world is shifting fast and wants to understand how we can still shape the outcome.

Presenter, Sandy Adams; “How many MPs, what percentage (do) they actually have something substantial on (to blackmail)? How many of them are cheating on their wives? How many of them are engaged in some sort of sordid business corruption or this or that?”

Andrew Bridgen; “Well, if you judge it by the number that were willing, when presented with unequivocal evidence that the vaccines were causing death and injury, the ones that were willing to stand up with me and stop the government from vaccinating young children who are at no risk from Covid whatsoever, never been a death of a healthy child of that age with Covid anywhere in the world, it’s all of them. In early January 2022, I was offered a bribe of whatever I wanted, I could ask for anything I wanted as long as I’d shut up and toe the line. How many of them have been made that offer? How many of them have been made that offer since? Once you’re in power, the gift of the government is immense, isn’t it? I think they were pretty shocked when I said; “is that the game we’re playing then?” And they said “that’s the game we always play”. Well, if that’s the game we’re playing, then I know what I want. “I want the Prime Minister’s resignation letter” and they said “that was the one thing I couldn’t have”. So I said, “I don’t want anything else if that’s the game we’re playing, do I?” Not many people would have done that, I don’t think. I think they’re pretty surprised.”

Presenter; “How much power do the MPs actually have? And how much is just controlled through Cabinet, which is essentially controlled by the Prime Minister, who seems controlled by outside forces? We’ve all seen Cummings speaking.”

Andrew Bridgen; “Absolutely, and I think the public perception is they think MPs have got a lot more power than they’ve got. I’m afraid the Prime Ministers and the Cabinets have got all the power, but it’s exerted through the whips and that is the corruption of our politics, you corrupt the party system. It doesn’t take long in politics to realise that the way to get on in politics is to do what’s right or in the interests of the party you represent, which is very seldom in the interests of the people you’re supposed to represent…they don’t want loyalty to the constituents.”

Andrew Bridgen (on Covid); “In our mainstream media, apart from the Conservative Woman, there’s almost no coverage of this issue, which I honestly believe affected tens of thousands of vulnerable elderly who were moved out of hospital to make way for the first wave of Covid patients who never appeared, and they were sent to care homes and nursing homes without their medications, and what they were sent with was midazolam and morphine. Why would you give a respiratory suppressant to patients who are supposedly suffering from a respiratory virus? And, of course, what we do know as well, and very few of the public will be aware of this, is that the average time from diagnosis with Covid 19 to death was 18.3 days in the UK. What I can tell you is, and this is a scientific fact, that viral infections burn out after seven days. So they didn’t die of Covid 19. I believe what they died of, even on the ventilators, was probably bacterial pneumonia. They weren’t prescribed antibiotics, which would have saved their lives. But what they didn’t die of was Covid 19. Clare Craig told me about this. They weren’t giving out the antibiotics that people needed. The normal protocols you’d give for people who’d suffered from a viral illness. Anyone would have thought that if you wanted to be cynical, you’d think they wanted the outcomes that they got, which was huge rise in deaths, which obviously then encouraged people to take the vaccines.”


Listen; 9/11: Bombshell Filing with first-hand insight; UK Column News, 21 November 2025

Kit Klarenberg; “Just in brief, in April 2023, the Office of Military Commissions, which is the court which is charged with prosecuting 9/11 suspects like Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, released this bombshell filing. It was released by FOI which concluded that at least two of the alleged hijackers had been recruited by the CIA using the Saudis as a liaison. I reported on that at the time it blew up. But the same document has all sorts of illuminating insight into how the 9/11 Commission, which was this whitewashed farce set up to not investigate the attacks and not get to the truth, buried the CIA’s involvement with the hijackers and the centrality of the Saudis to that. I would urge people to read the piece in full. It contains numerous kinds of first hand testimony from people who worked on the 9/11 Commission who were blocked in their attempts to investigate the Saudi connections by the chief, Philip Zelikow, who was very close to the Bush administration, was a kind of rabid neocon who was calling for preemptive war against Iraq in the late 1990s. So someone with a lot of conflicts of interest and someone who shouldn’t have been heading this body. And it has all sorts of startling first hand insight of staffers getting fired, the restrictions on what could be asked and who could be questioned. It was very, very clear that a lot of people on the Commission were absolutely convinced that the Saudis were centrally implicated in what happened and that they were doing this on the CIA’s behalf to lend some kind of cover. I think also as well, it’s important to bear in mind that the CIA officers who ran the unit that recruited the hijackers, which was called Alec Station, many of them after 9/11 went on to lead the CIA’s torture programme, which was all about getting false testimony out of detainees, which is a very effective means of covering their own tracks and offering up a false narrative to the public that could justify the war on terror, and indeed a false narrative of what happened on 9/11 which shockingly, according to polls, a majority of people worldwide still believe. This is despite the fact that, yes, a Senate investigation found that the torture programme elicited zero factual information and detainees frequently fabricated their answers to questions because they wanted the horrific abuse to which they were being subjected to stop. The aforementioned Khaled Sheikh Mohammed admitted under waterboarding to plotting to blow up buildings that hadn’t even been built yet when he was captured. It’s that level of farce.”


Watch; CIA whistleblower Philip Agee on why Cuba, Nicaragua, and Granada Had to be Destroyed; Anticonquista, 2 November 2025

Philip Agee; “Cubans Are successful in their example of being able to provide as a poor country the best medical care in the third world to the whole population because it’s an inclusionary system. It’s not like we have here where you have this huge bulk of the population marginalised, but there, if everybody can have adequate medical care, if the schooling is adequate for all, and remember, Cuba has more doctors and more teachers per capita than any country in the world and they have succeeded in these areas and it’s all state supported, which means people don’t have to put money out for the medical care. They of course pay the cost indirectly as a whole society, but they don’t have to pay the bill in the hospital and so forth. And so that cannot be allowed to stand. It’s a very bad example for the United States. So there is a very large mass of people out there who can look at Cuba and say, well, if they can do it and on a per capita income of $2,000, $2,500 a year where ours is $22,500 a year, what’s wrong with our system? I mean, maybe we ought to consider an alternative. That’s why Sandinista Nicaragua had to be destroyed, they were a bad example. And that’s why Grenada had to be destroyed. Because any movement that comes to power with the idea of providing for all the people and of escaping the control of the United States and its economy, let’s say the corporations and so forth, then that is bad news here in the US, in the upper circles of power.”


Watch; if any problem is being presented as a global crisis, then it is a scam; truthache, 16 November 2025

“The general rule of thumb that I believe everybody should adopt is that if any problem is being presented as a global crisis, then it is a scam. The pattern that we are confronted with is really the fabrication of global crises. The presentation either of non-existent problems or small local problems as being general global crises, followed by the assertion that the only solutions that are permissible are global ones that require a global authority, global control. The Covid policy response was one of those. Look at what happened to countries like Sweden or Tanzania who tried to push back against the orthodoxy. The climate change crisis is another example where we are told that the biggest threat to the world is this molecule CO2, and that an increase in the level of this molecule will cause an increase in temperature and that that temperature increase will be bad for us, and that the only thing we can do is consume fewer fossil fuels and less energy. That’s fitting the pattern exactly. The other thing you can observe is instead of presenting science as an ongoing evolving activity, it is presented in terms of static knowledge consensus. You see the cancellation and censorship of dissident voices rather than engagement with them. These patterns are proof of a scam. That is what people need to understand. Whenever something is presented as the science, as a consensus, it is a scam.”


Watch; RFK Jr Just TORCHED the World Economic Forum — and he’s absolutely right, Jim Ferguson, 24 November 2025

‘Asked by Glenn Beck where he stands on the WEF, RFK didn’t hold back: “It’s a billionaires’ boys club shifting wealth upward and imposing totalitarian controls.” “They fly to Davos on private jets and tell world leaders how to govern the rest of us.” “During Covid, $4 TRILLION was shifted upward while they closed the little guys.” This is the part the media will bury: RFK Jr is openly stating that Big Tech, Big Government, and the WEF colluded to censor dissent, crush small businesses, and eliminate constitutional rights while enriching the global elite. And he’s not wrong. The WEF model is simple:

• Obey global governance
• Erase national sovereignty

• Criminalise dissent
• Centralise power
• Enrich the elite class
• Digitise the population

Meanwhile ordinary people were locked down, bankrupted, silenced, and surveilled. RFK Jr is saying the quiet part out loud: The WEF isn’t a “think tank.” It’s an unelected cartel of billionaires trying to run the world. And people are finally waking up.’

Klaus Schwab (founder of the World Economic Forum. He served as the WEF’s chairman from 1971 until his resignation in 2025); “You do not even have to have elections anymore because you can already predict and afterwards you can say, why do we need elections? Because we know what the result will be.”

Larry Ellison (Chief technology officer of Oracle); “The first thing a country needs to do is to unify all of their data so it can be consumed and used by the AI model. We want to ask a question. We’ve provided that AI model with all the data they need to understand our country.”

Klaus Schwab; “We have a lack of global governance. If we look at the UN, if we look at the G8, at the international organisations, they are not enough. We need more institutions to develop global rules.”

Larry Fink (American billionaire businessman, a co-founder, chairman, and CEO of BlackRock); ” In substituting humans for machines is going to be far easier in those countries that have declining populations.”

So, what’s a good response to that? Well, it was your values that made our countries unlivable in the first place. It was your values, your greed, your colonisation, your white supremacy, your aggression, your violence, your brutality. Those values, your values that made our countries unlivable and made us come to your countries. So you don’t want us to come to your countries, which means that you’re not actually satisfied with the outcome of your own values and then you want us to assimilate to your own values. That doesn’t really make any sense. Maybe you should try to assimilate to our values and we could solve both our problems.”

Presenter; “Unless we opt out, digital ID will get its tentacles around our necks and we will become like China or worse. Mark my words. Your every move will be surveilled and your ID will be tied to your digital money. And if you derail from what the authorities want from you, you will pay the price. Said the wrong thing on social media? Didn’t get the latest booster? Won’t acknowledge that there are more than two genders? You’ll wake up one day and you won’t be able to access your funds. Don’t believe me? Remember when people wanted to donate $20 to the truckers? The Canadian government froze their bank accounts just like that. And you know what they’re going to do?

“The Saudis entered into an oil sales deal with the Chinese, and for the first time ever, and I mean literally ever, they didn’t pay in dollars. The Chinese didn’t pay in dollars. All oil transactions around the world have to be in dollars, this deal was in yuan, and the Saudis accepted the yuan. That set the precedent, it broke this long string going back to the 1930s. Well, now that the Chinese have been paying in yuan, the Brazilians said, you know what, if the yuan is a legitimate international currency, we should join with the Argentines, the Chileans, and I think they said the Mexicans, and we should make a Latin American currency and we should stop using dollars. Well, what this means is little by little, we’re being pushed out of the place where we’ve been king of the hill for almost a century.”

Could losing our connection to the soul/the higher world be why so many people are indifferent to the endless wars, toxic food and cruelty to man and fellow sentient beings?

Watch; The invisible forces making humanity sick; Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, 29 October 2025

‘Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt has spent decades uncovering the invisible forces making humanity sick and his findings aren’t just scientific, they’re actually spiritual. He points to four major weapons silently used against the modern human:

Aluminium – sprayed into our skies under the guise of geoengineering. Neurotoxic. Brain-damaging. Accumulates silently.

Fluoride – added to tap water to “protect teeth,” but it calcifies the pineal gland—our spiritual antenna.

Glyphosate – a cancer-linked herbicide saturating our food, sprayed on the majority of crops. Destroys gut health, the core of immunity and intuition.

Wi-Fi & EMFs – invisible radiation that disrupts cellular communication and brain waves. No one escapes it.

Individually harmful, together they create a spiritually dull, chronically ill, and emotionally broken population. But this didn’t happen by accident. Dr. Klinghardt references Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian mystic and philosopher who saw this coming over 100 years ago. Steiner predicted a movement would rise, led by large corporations and scientific elites to sever the human connection to spirit. He warned: “In the future, we will eliminate the soul with medicine.” He foresaw vaccines and technologies that would block the capacity for spiritual experience, replacing divine intuition with programmed obedience. Rudolf Steiner said that the goal would be to reduce humanity to material beings, stripped of higher awareness, soulless, but “safe.” And now look where we are, a world addicted to convenience, children raised on Wi-Fi and dopamine, our crops chemically sprayed in the name of science, people medicated into silence while corporations profit off their illness. We were warned, and now we are living it. But Steiner also believed in the human spirit. He taught that even in the darkest times, those who stay awake, protect their bodies, and nourish their soul will hold the line for the rest. This is the real resistance, to remember who you are, to reclaim your health, your mind, your soul and to stand unshaken in a world that wants you numb. You are not a machine, you are a divine being.’

Right now, our devices are casting all of these records that we do not see being created, that in aggregate seem very innocent. You were at Starbucks at this time, you went to the hospital. Afterwards, you spent a long time at the hospital, after you left the hospital, you made a phone call, made a phone call to your mother. You talked to her until the middle of the night. The hospital was an oncology clinic. Even if you can’t see the content of these communications, the activity records, what the government calls metadata, which they argue they do not need a warrant to collect, tells the whole story. And these activity records are being created and shared and collected and intercepted constantly by companies and governments. And ultimately it means as they sell these, as they trade these, as they make their businesses on the backs of these records, what they are selling is not information. What they are selling is us. They’re selling our future, they’re selling our past, they are selling our history, our identity, and ultimately, they are stealing our power and making our stories work for them.”


Covid Vaccine Scam

Read; UK Government Wins 2-Year Battle to Withhold Data Linking COVID Vaccines to Excess Deaths by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.The Defender, 17 November 2025

‘The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is not required to publicise data that may link COVID-19 vaccines to an increase in excess deaths in the United Kingdom during the pandemic, following a ruling last week by the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office.

The ruling, which concludes a two-year battle for the release of the data, has led to accusations of a “cover-up,” according to The Telegraph, which first reported the story.

In 2023, UsForThem, a nonprofit advocacy group, requested the data under the country’s freedom of information laws. However, UKHSA challenged the request, citing concerns that releasing the data could fuel “misinformation” and cause “distress” to the vaccine-injured.

In a statement provided to The Defender, Luke Weeks, senior communications manager at UKHSA’s press office, said:

“Protecting patient confidentiality is of critical importance. Releasing this data presented a real possibility that it could be used to identify individuals, which could result in significant distress.

“UKHSA provided a carefully anonymised version of the dataset that removed the risk of identification. We welcome the decision of the tribunal to dismiss the appeal.”

UKHSA previously told the Information Commissioner’s Office that releasing the data may lead to “distress or anger” on the part of the relatives of the deceased and that the figures might be used to fuel “misinformation” about the COVID-19 vaccines, potentially fueling vaccine hesitancy.’

Watch; There was no pandemic Wide Awake Media, 15 November 2025

Mike Yeadon; “There has not been a pandemic. Dennis Rancourt’s data shows that the all-cause mortality evidence data did not increase at all in the run up to the declaration, fraudulently by the WHO of a pandemic. There is no public health emergency except that created by our governments. An inappropriate fraudulent PCR test was used to give people the impression that they had a particular disease where they didn’t. There were all the normal diseases. And then what happened was in three different ways people were treated badly through changed medical procedures that were imposed above the level of nation briefly, mass ventilation of people inappropriately in hospitals that led to lots of deaths. In care homes many people were given sedatives and respiratory depressants which led to their deaths. My PhD was specifically in that area of opiates and respiratory depression. And in the community people were denied life-saving antibiotics and died of bacterial pneumonia. There’s your pandemic. There is no other pandemic, and based on this lie we were told that vaccines were coming our way and would be our saviour. Two things, as I say, first there’s no pandemic so you certainly don’t need an experimental rushed medical intervention. But secondly, even if you did, as someone who has worked in the industry for over 30 years, I am telling you it’s absolutely impossible to invent, test, clinically evaluate and manufacture and then launch on global scale a complex bio-medical product. It’s absolutely impossible. It’s not close, its years wrong. The fastest record of this was six years, and friends of mine who’ve worked all their lives in manufacturing of complex biological products tell me the methods development alone for development of a reproducible manufacturing process itself takes a number of years. So whatever it is you think was done, I am telling you there was not the development of a proper medical product. What I think happened was the advancements of materials that are intentionally toxic and then they were sketchily advanced and jammed into people’s arms, often coerced, sometimes even mandated with the unsurprising effect that millions of people have died. So I think having heard what I’ve just said, that there was no pandemic and the lie was maintained in order to inject people en masse, I think five and a half billion people with an intentionally dangerous substance, 17 million of whom have died so far.”

US Aggression Against Venezuela

An authentic account of the history of worldwide US aggression by John Mearsheimer who is Professor of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Chicago.

Watch; Venezuela Breaks Free — How Russian Warships Ended 200 Years of U.S. Control John Mearsheimer, 22 November 2025

John Mearsheimer; “I’ve spent my entire career studying how empires rise and fall but what I witnessed in the Caribbean last month changed everything I thought I knew about American power. Russian warships didn’t just arrive in Venezuelan waters, they shattered a doctrine that has defined Western hemisphere politics for two centuries, the Monroe Doctrine, America’s sacred claim that this hemisphere belongs to Washington, died in those waters. And most Americans don’t even realise it yet. What unfolded wasn’t just naval positioning. It was the moment when the unipolar world order I’ve analysed for decades finally cracked open. The question isn’t whether America saw this coming, the question is why we forced it to happen. Let me tell you how a superpower accidentally destroyed its own empire. Russian destroyers anchored off the Venezuelan coastal, conducting joint exercises with a nation America has tried to strangle for over 20 years. CNN called it provocative posturing, the Pentagon issued warnings about destabilising activities, but they missed the real story, this wasn’t Russian aggression, this was Russian response. For 30 years after the Soviet collapse, I watched Washington make the same fatal mistake over and over. Every time we expanded our sphere of influence, we told ourselves it was about democracy and freedom, every time Russia resisted, we called it paranoia and aggression. But power politics doesn’t care about our moral justifications. The moment those Russian ships dropped anchor in Venezuelan waters, they were answering a simple question, if NATO can expand to Russia’s borders, why can’t Russia expand to America’s? The logic was elegant, the timing was perfect and the message was unmistakable. The era of unchallenged American dominance is over. Everything started with hubris. When the Soviet union collapsed in 1991, America stood alone as the world’s sole superpower. We had won the Cold War. History, Francis Fukuyama told us, had ended. Liberal democracy had triumphed forever. But instead of building a new security architecture that included Russia, we chose dominance. Instead of crafting institutions that reflected post Cold War realities, we expanded the very alliance designed to contain the Soviet Union. I remember the debates in the 1990s. George Kennan, the architect of containment strategy, warned that NATO expansion would be the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post Cold War era. He understood what Washington refused to accept. Russia, regardless of who led it, would view NATO troops on its borders as an existential threat. But we pressed forward anyway. Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, then the Baltic states, Bulgaria, Romania. Each expansion wave was sold as spreading democracy. To Moscow, it looked like encirclement. The pivotal moment came in 2008 at the NATO summit in Bucharest. There, the alliance announced that Ukraine and Georgia would eventually become members. For Russia that was the red line crossed. Ukraine isn’t just another neighbouring state, it’s the historical heart of Russian civilisation. The first Russian state was born in Kiev. The idea of NATO missile systems, just hundreds of miles from Moscow, was intolerable to any Russian government. But Washington believed Russia was too weak to respond, too dependent on Western institutions, too constrained by internal chaos. We were wrong, and Venezuela would pay the price for our miscalculation. While we were expanding NATO eastward, we applied the same dominance logic in our own hemisphere. Venezuela became our testing ground, a laboratory for how far economic warfare could go before a nation collapsed. When Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999, he committed the ultimate sin in Washington’s eyes, he decided Venezuela’s oil wealth should serve Venezuelans, not American corporations. He redirected petroleum revenues into social programmes, healthcare, education. He built alliances with Cuba and and promoted Latin American independence. From that moment, he became a target. The pattern was predictable. First came diplomatic pressure and moral lectures, then economic sanctions and financial restrictions. When that wasn’t enough, we backed a coup in 2002. It failed, but it marked a turning point. From then on, the relationship between Washington and Caracas descended into open warfare. By the time Maduro succeeded Chavez in 2013, our strategy had crystallised. Economic strangulation designed to create desperation. We cut Venezuela off from international financial markets. We blocked oil exports, the lifeblood of their economy. We froze billions in state assets abroad. The results were catastrophic. Venezuela’s economy shrank by more than 75%. Inflation reached unimaginable levels. Hospitals ran out of medicine. Food shortages became widespread. John Bolton, serving as national security advisor, openly admitted our goal to make the economy scream. Tens of thousands died as a direct result of our economic siege. Millions fled the country, but the government didn’t fall. Instead, our pressure achieved something we never intended. It drove Venezuela straight into Russia’s arms. This is where Putin demonstrated the difference between tactics and strategy. While Washington focused on crushing individual opponents, Moscow was building a global network of resistance. Russia looked at Venezuela and saw opportunity where we saw defiance. A nation under siege from American sanctions, sitting atop the world’s largest oil reserves. Desperate for allies, it was perfect. The partnership deepened gradually. Russian energy firms invested billions in Venezuela’s state oil company, technical advisors arrived, followed by military specialists. Moscow supplied fighter jets, air defence systems, armoured vehicles. Then came the naval deployments. Since 2008, Russian warships have periodically visited Venezuelan ports. At first, these were gestures of solidarity, now they’re unmistakably political declarations. Each arrival sends the same message, if you can deploy forces on our borders, we can do the same on yours. The symbolism was perfect. For every missile system placed in Eastern Europe, here was a Russian frigate off the coast of South America. For every alliance built in Russia’s neighbourhood, here was a counter alliance in America’s backyard. But Russia’s involvement offered more than symbolism. Under siege from our sanctions, Caracas desperately needed economic lifelines, technical expertise, international legitimacy. Russian oil companies helped sustain production. Russian advisors trained Venezuelan personnel and fortified key installations. The partnership became one of necessity, not ideology, and that’s what made it unbreakable. What we failed to understand was structural. We weren’t just pressuring individual countries, we were creating a network of resistance. Every nation we sanctioned, isolated or threatened, became a potential ally for our adversaries. Venezuela joined a growing Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, different systems, different ideologies, but united by one shared experience, they’d all been targeted by American coercion. Their cooperation was born from survival instinct. Every time we added another country to our sanctions list, that network grew stronger. We forced our enemies to find each other, to trade with each other, to protect each other. We created the very alliance we claimed to fear. The genius of Russia’s strategy was recognising this pattern and exploiting it. While we played whack a mole with individual opponents, Moscow was building a parallel system, one that could function entirely outside American control. China provided the economic foundation with massive trade relationships and alternative financial systems. Russia provided security guarantees and energy cooperation. Iran offered technical expertise in sanctions evasion. Together, they created an ecosystem where survival was possible without American approval. Venezuela became the crown jewel of this network, proof that even in America’s own hemisphere, alternatives existed. The Monroe doctrine, proclaimed in 1823, declared the Western Hemisphere America’s exclusive sphere of influence. For two centuries, that assumption held, no European power could establish permanent presence in the Americas or without American permission. But doctrines only work when you have the power to enforce them, and power, as I’ve learned through decades of study, is always relative. When those Russian warships arrived in Venezuelan waters last month, they weren’t just conducting naval exercises, they were performing a funeral for the Monroe Doctrine, for American hemispheric dominance, for the illusion that geography still guarantees security. The world has changed in ways Washington refuses to acknowledge. We live in a multipolar system now, where influence must be earned rather than assumed, where alliances are voluntary rather than imposed. Russia’s message was simple but devastating. The Western hemisphere is no longer America’s exclusive domain. Other powers can project influence here too. The age of unilateral control is over. What makes this moment so profound is how it exposes the fundamental contradiction in American foreign policy. We maintain nearly 800 military bases in over 70 countries. Our naval fleets patrol every ocean, we spend more on defence than the next 10 nations combined. We justify this as global leadership, as maintaining a rules-based international order. But when Russia deploys a few ships to the Caribbean, suddenly it’s aggression. When we build alliances, it’s collective security, when others do it, it’s expansionism. This selective morality hasn’t gone unnoticed. To much of the world, America’s rules-based order looks like a hierarchy where rules apply to everyone but us. We invoke sovereignty when convenient and violate it when not. The double standard is staggering. We condemn election interference while funding opposition movements. We denounce authoritarianism while arming dictatorships that serve our interests. We demand other nations respect international law while ignoring it whenever it constrains our actions. People remember the coups we backed in Guatemala, Chile, Argentina. They remember the death squads we trained. They remember how we supported dictators as long as they were anti-communist and undermined democracies that challenged our control. So when Washington claims to care about democracy in Venezuela, few believe it. The world has learned that America’s concern for democracy is conditional, used when it aligns with our interests, discarded when it doesn’t. What we’re witnessing isn’t the sudden emergence of new threats. It’s the predictable result of imperial overextension. For 30 years we’ve tried to maintain global dominance through coercion and control. But coercion breeds resistance and resistance eventually finds expression. Every intervention, every sanction regime, every military deployment has costs, not just financial, but strategic and moral. We’ve spent decades lecturing others about freedom while denying it to those who choose paths we don’t approve. The tragedy is that none of this was inevitable after the Cold War. We had a historic opportunity to build a cooperative international system based on shared prosperity and mutual respect. Instead, we chose dominance. We could have integrated Russia into European security architecture. We could have worked with China on global challenges. We could have partnered with Latin America rather than trying to control it. Instead, we expanded military alliances, imposed punitive sanctions and pursued regime change operations. We mistook our temporary advantage for permanent supremacy.”

Watch; All of Venezuela is Palestine, Mnar Adley, Mint Press News, 24 October 2025

Mnar Adley; “That’s what makes Venezuela’s stance all the more powerful. While Machado aligns herself with Israel, Venezuela’s revolutionary governments have made Palestine a national cause. Under Hugo Chavez, Venezuela cut all diplomatic ties with Israel during the 2009 Gaza massacre and formally recognised the state of Palestine. Chavez condemned Israel’s actions as state terrorism and declared the people of Palestine are our brothers and sisters, their struggle is our struggle. He opened up one of Latin America’s first Palestinian embassies, sent medical aid to Gaza and brought Palestinian children to Venezuela for treatment and education. President Maduro carries that legacy forward. He’s backed South Africa’s genocide case at the International Court of Justice and voted for Palestinian sovereignty at the UN and declared all of Venezuela is Palestine. Now. In late 2024, Caracas hosted delegates from more than 50 countries and 100 organisations at the International Conference of Solidarity with Palestine under the banner ‘From Venezuela to Palestine we will live and we will be victorious’. So while Venezuela sends food and medicine to Gaza and treats our wounded, the Nobel committee rewards the woman calling for more violence and an invasion, and shaking hands with the very regime carrying out genocide. The war on Gaza and this Nobel farce reveal the same truth, war criminals are rewarded and empire crowns its own. As Israel levels Gaza with Western weapons, those same powers are already setting their sights on Venezuela, another independent nation rich in oil, minerals and defiance. A nation that has turned to Russia, China and Iran for growth. Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Halliburton, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin. The same corporations that are profiting right now from the genocide in Gaza are waiting to feast on Venezuela next. So when you see a peace prize pinned on a warmonger, just remember it’s not about peace, it’s about profits. And in this upside down world, the true champions of peace are the ones the empire fears most. Those who stand with Palestine, with Iran, with Venezuela and the countries that are sanctioned and countries that refuse to kowtow.”


Listen; Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Is Trump Planning More Wars? Judging Freedom, 2 December 2024

Judge Napolitano; “Is it your view that these attacks on the speedboats in the Caribbean, as horrific as they have been, are a prelude to war against Venezuela?

Jeffrey Sachs; “Of course they are. The Trump administration says so that we’re in a regime change operation right now. President Trump has announced that he’s tasked the CIA with operating inside Venezuela. He said that land operations are going to begin. He’s got a carrier task force assembled, the largest that’s been assembled in the Caribbean region for decades, and he’s basically announced we’re going to attack. So maybe it’s a bluff, maybe he thinks that he’s going to scare Maduro into stepping down. They apparently had a discussion where the United States president demanded that the Venezuelan president step down and leave his country. This is a kind of thuggery, but without any disguise. It’s not what we call a covert regime change operation, it is an overt regime change operation where the aim is very explicit, completely illegal, completely against the UN Charter, without, of course, even any sanction by the US Congress. It’s shocking, frankly speaking.”

Judge Napolitano; “Here’s somebody in his administration who may not be around that much longer being very eloquent about the dangers of the government being involved in regime change in foreign countries. This is just a month ago on October 31st.”

Tulsi Gabbard; “For decades, our foreign policy has been trapped in a counterproductive and endless cycle of regime change or nation building. It was a one size fits all approach of toppling regimes, trying to impose our system of governance on others and intervene in conflicts that were barely understood and walk away with more enemies than allies. The results, trillions spent, countless lives lost, and in many cases, a creation of greater security threats. President Trump was elected by the American people to put an end to this. From day one, he has showed a very different way to conduct foreign policy.”

US Aggression in Nigeria

Professor John Mearsheimer explains how global power structures are changing with Nigeria’s decision to accept payment for some of their oil in currencies other than US dollars.

Watch; Dropping the petrodollar for their oil sales got many a leader killed and nation targeted for destruction or regime change; Nadim Dervish, 26 November 2025

Professor John Mearsheimer; “Something extraordinary happened last week that most Americans didn’t even notice. A single economic decision by Nigeria accepting payment for oil and currencies other than the US dollar triggered such panic in Washington that President Trump threatened military action. Let me repeat that. The United States threatened war over a currency choice. In my decades of studying great power politics, I’ve seen empires make desperate moves as their dominance slips away. But threatening to bomb a country for exercising basic equity, economic sovereignty, that’s not strength. That’s the thrashing of a wounded hegemon that’s lost control of its own narrative. Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and largest economy, didn’t attack anyone. They didn’t invade a neighbour. They didn’t threaten American citizens. They simply announced they would accept payment for their oil in yuan, euros or naira, alongside dollars. And for that act of economic independence, Washington threatened vicious military consequences. This isn’t just about Nigeria. This is about the moment when American empire showed its true face to the world. And what we saw wasn’t pretty. The mask has finally slipped, and underneath lies something far more fragile than anyone imagined. What Nigeria did was technically simple, but strategically revolutionary. President Bola Tinubu’s government announced that state oil companies could accept payments in multiple currencies for crude exports. Not abandoning the dollar entirely, just offering alternatives. In any rational world, this would be a routine economic decision. Countries trade in various currencies all the time. But we don’t live in a rational world. We live in a world where the dollar’s monopoly over global energy trade has become the invisible foundation of American power. For decades, the petrodollar system has allowed the United States to print money without consequence, run massive deficits without accountability, and finance military operations across the globe without real cost. Every oil transaction in dollars creates demand for American currency, essentially forcing the world to subsidise our empire. Nigeria’s announcement shattered that illusion of inevitability. If a country sitting on some of the world’s largest oil reserves can survive without dollar dependence, what stops others from following suit? Trump’s reaction revealed everything. Within hours of the announcement, threats emerged from Washington. Vicious consequences were promised. The military options were discussed. The message was economic sovereignty is an act of war against American interests. But here’s what Washington doesn’t understand or refuses to acknowledge. This moment was inevitable, not because Nigeria suddenly became anti-American, but because America has spent the last two decades teaching the world that dependence on the dollar is a weapon that can be turned against anyone, anytime, for any reason. I’ve watched this pattern develop for years. Every time we freeze assets, every time we cut countries off from swift. Every time we weaponize the financial system for political ends, we provide the best possible advertisement for alternatives. We’re not just punishing our enemies, we’re training our allies to prepare for the day we might turn on them too. Nigeria learned this lesson by watching others. They saw how we froze Russian central bank reserves overnight. They watched how we cut Iran out of global banking. They observed how Venezuela’s assets simply vanished from international accounts. When we decided their government was illegitimate, the message was dollar dependence equals vulnerability to American coercion. And Nigeria, like an increasing number of countries, decided that vulnerability was too dangerous to maintain. The timing of Nigeria’s move is no coincidence. Africa’s largest economy has been watching the global landscape shift for years. Chinese investment in Nigerian infrastructure has delivered tangible results; railways, ports, power plants. While western promises remained largely on paper when Europe desperately needed alternative gas supplies after the Ukraine crisis, Nigeria found itself in an unexpectedly powerful position. But instead of simply opening the taps and accepting whatever terms Europe offered, Lagos demanded something different. Technology transfers majority Nigerian ownership of projects and support for sustainable energy transition. In other words, Nigeria began acting like a sovereign nation with its own interests, rather than a resource colony existing for others benefit. This shift in mentality is what truly terrifies Washington. It’s not just about oil payments or currency choices. It’s about the end of automatic deference to American preferences. Nigeria is asserting the radical idea that Nigerians should determine Nigeria’s economic policies. Trump’s military threat exposed the intellectual bankruptcy at the heart of American foreign policy. When you can only respond to economic independence with violence, you’ve revealed that your influence was never based on attraction or mutual benefit. It was always based on fear. The countries watching this confrontation aren’t impressed by American power. They’re alarmed by American desperation. When the world’s strongest military threatens war over a currency decision, it sends a clear message; the empire’s economic foundation is crumbling and it will lash out at anyone who exposes that weakness. But Nigeria isn’t backing down. President Tinubu’s response has been masterful, calm, measured, but absolutely firm. He’s emphasising that Nigeria seeks partnership, not confrontation. He’s stressing that economic sovereignty is non negotiable. And he’s making clear that decisions about Nigerian currency policy will be made in Abuja, not Washington.”


Trump declares war on Nigeria next?

Listen; INTEL Round Table : w/ Johnson & McGovern Judging Freedom, 7 November 2025

Judge Napolitano; “Here’s President Trump at Mar-a-Lago two days ago. As you listen to him, bear in mind that on Monday he will be meeting at the White House with al-Jolani, the ISIS leader who’s now the head of Syria and who was slaughtering Christians.”

Trump; “If the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria. We’re going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria is not going to be happy about and may very well go into that now disgraced country guns a’ blazing to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible, horrible atrocities. I’m hereby instructing our department of war to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast and vicious and sweet. Just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians. These are cherished people. These are great people. Leave them alone. Warning the Nigerian government better move fast before it’s too late. If they don’t, there’s going to be hell to pay.”

Judge Napolitano; “In your long careers have you ever heard a president speak like that? “We’re coming in with guns a blazing.”?

Ray McGovern; “I have not. this is a joint zionist and Christian crusade, if you will. I mean the Muslims, they’re the target. They’re the ones that we started crusades with in the Middle Ages or the Dark Ages. So, I think he’s getting this from his Secretary of War, Hegseth. He’s a deranged kind of person who thinks that the Christians have to do what the Old Testament says because the Jew, blah, blah, blah, blah, they don’t understand it. So here you have a person of the United States, threatening to go into Nigeria, threatening to go into Venezuela, a lot of Christians in Venezuela. Well, yeah, he’s deranged, okay? And if I’m Putin, if I’m a Russian leader and I’m looking at all this, I’m saying, ‘oh, my God, let’s not provoke this person. Let’s play it cool here. What Putin has been doing is very adroit and appearing very, very, very strong, but also willing to deal. So will that ever happen? I don’t know who can predict what Trump is going to do. And Trump, let’s face it, is the fly in the ointment here against developing a decent Russian-American relationship, which Trump says he wants to do, Putin really wants to do, but not against these odds.”


George Galloway; Boko Haram in Nigeria the same as ISIS subsidised by the West to cause unrest between the Muslim and Christian population

Watch; Boko Haram has been slaughtering Africans for decades, George Galloway, 6 November 2025

George Galloway; “Now, Donald is not, how shall I put it, the best read person on the planet. I know that he’s sharp, I know that he’s a shark in business, but he doesn’t know much about the world, he doesn’t know much about geography, he doesn’t know much about history, he doesn’t know much about demography. So this next lesson is for him. There are 250 million people in Nigeria, half of them are Christians and half of them are Muslims. There is an ISIS-Al Qaeda terrorist offshoot called Boko Haram, which has been slaughtering Muslims and Christians for decades in Nigeria, and no American president has done jack about it or even spoken about it until now. Makes you wonder what it was exactly that woke up Donald Trump to the situation in Nigeria. This Boko Haram came out of the same stable as the ISIS and Al Qaeda offshoot which has just been received with all honours in the White House. And you know to whom and to what I refer. Western countries spent an entire decade and more assisting ISIS and Al Qaeda to take over Syria, where they engaged in exactly the same kind of slaughter and bloodletting on their own video cameras, as we’ve seen this week in Sudan. So what exactly is the difference between ISIS and Al Qaeda in Nigeria, who have to be all guns blazing, destroyed viciously, as said, by Donald Trump, and the Al Qaeda and ISIS that were received in the White House just a couple of weeks ago? What’s the difference between one ISIS and another ISIS? The answer, of course, is entirely opportunistic. We supported ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria, but they want us to believe that the Western countries oppose it in Nigeria. Now, Russia is fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda in Burkina Faso, in Mali, where ISIS and Al Qaeda are on the march and on their advance. Donald Trump isn’t offering to help there. He’s offering to help Nigeria by invading a country of 250 million people.”


Provoked War With Russia

Listen; Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Is Trump Planning More Wars? Judging Freedom, 2 December 2025

Judge Napolitano; “How much longer can Ukraine last? I mean, why would the Russians even negotiate with a regime that might not be around in two or three months?”

Jeffrey Sachs; “Well, the Russians have an advantage if they can diplomatically secure core objectives. That would include, of course, as the most important, Ukraine’s neutrality and an absolutely clear policy of the United States and Ukraine that NATO will not enlarge to Ukraine. This is why there is a war in the first place. The United States had a project that it has been engaging in for more than 30 years to take Ukraine into the American military fold. That’s the whole story of this conflict. So Russia would like to achieve an agreement with the Trump administration and then have that imposed on Ukraine, not against the will of the Ukrainian people, but against the will of a small clique that the United States installed in a coup in February 2014 that says that it wants and it insists on Ukraine becoming part of NATO. What Russia would like is clarity; No, NATO is not going to enlarge, Ukraine is going to be neutral and therefore Ukraine is not going to be a US pawn in a geopolitical game against Russia. And that’s exactly what U.S. policy is, has been for more than 30 years, that Ukraine would be a piece in the U.S. game, called the grand chessboard, no less, by Zbigniew Brzezinski when he described this game in 1997; We would get Ukraine, Russia would become a third rate country, maybe even break apart. So Russia has a diplomatic objective. Stop this terrible game which has now killed or wounded probably about 2 million Ukrainians who are losing on the battlefield. The advantage of settling in the discussions, for example, today in Moscow with Mr. Witkoff and President Putin, is the United States would not only accept this as a fait accompli, but agree with it as a diplomatic principle, which it should. I’ve been saying this for years and years and years. On principle, it’s correct; NATO should not expand to Ukraine. The whole idea was a wacky, dangerous, reckless gambit of the US which never should have been attempted. So Russia won’t give up core principles because they’re winning on the battlefield. What they would like is normal relations with the United States, Europe and Ukraine, but on a different basis from a regime playing the US deep state game of trying to weaken or divide or bring down Russia. So, yes, Russia would like a diplomatic solution, but it has to go to the core of the issue. What Russia would not accept, obviously, is a so called ceasefire, which gives time for the war to resume.”

President Putin; “We are not planning to go to war with Europe. I’ve said that a hundred times already but if Europe suddenly wants to go to war with us and starts it, we are ready right now. There can be no doubt about that. The only question is in what way? If Europe suddenly starts a war with us, I think it will be over very quickly. This isn’t Ukraine. With Ukraine, we’re acting in a surgical, careful manner, war (with EU) will be over quickly”

Jeffrey Sachs; “Well, it’s because of the warmongering that is coming from Mertz, the German Chancellor, from Starmer, the British Prime Minister from Macron, the French President who talk openly about war with Russia, from the so called high representative, Vice President of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas, who uses the same vulgar language. It’s deeply disturbing, but it is in a context. The context is extreme Russophobia in Europe for years that continues until this day. That has been the history of much of Europe for generations actually. And so irrationally so. Basically, Russia said many times back in the 1930s, when Hitler was threatening the world, Russia said, side with us, we’ll make an anti-Hitler alliance of all countries. Poland said, no, no, no, no, we won’t side with the Soviet Union, leaving itself exposed to Hitler. Britain and France said, no, no, no, no, we won’t side with the Soviet Union, leading to nearly the complete disaster that befell Europe in World War II. And then after the war, the Soviet Union said, okay, we just lost 27 million people, demilitarise Germany and the United States said, no, no, we’re going to remilitarise Germany and put it into something called NATO. And then in 1990 and 91, when I was directly in Moscow watching this, President Gorbachev and President Yeltsin said, a common European home, indivisible security, no more blocks. And for a fleeting moment, the US and Germany said, yes, yes, we agree with you. Germany will be reunified with the Soviet agreement because this was actually the end of World War II from a legal point of view. We agree with you, NATO won’t move one inch eastward, and then immediately again, Europe and the United States started to cheat, said, oh well, we’ll reconsider that, NATO will move eastward. And not only eastward, not only to Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, but further to the Baltic states, to Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, not only to them, but to Ukraine and to Georgia to surround Russia. And so Europe just has a very, very hard time accepting peace. And what they do is warmonger. And I hate to see President Putin say these things, but the context is all this war talk. I hate to see a German chancellor talk about war. Come on, we’ve had enough of that. Let’s have diplomacy.”


Listen; Pete Hegseth: The Self-Made War Criminal Judging Freedom with Scott Ritter, 3 December 2025

President Putin; “We are not planning to go to war with Europe. I’ve said that a hundred times already. But if Europe suddenly wants to go to war with us and starts it, we are ready right now. There can be no doubt about that. The only question is in what way? If Europe suddenly starts a war with us, I think it will be over very quickly. This isn’t Ukraine. With Ukraine, we’re acting in a surgical, careful manner, right? So that, well, you get it right?”

Judge Napolitano; “Surgical, careful manner. War will be over quickly. Why would he have said something like that within an hour or two of meeting Messrs. Witkoff and Kushner?”

Scott Ritter; “Well, before that statement, he made some other statements about Europe wanting to strategically defeat Russia. How can we even begin to negotiate with such people? he said. I think what you’re seeing is a very frustrated Vladimir Putin, frustrated by the fact that Europe is just committing suicide. Remember when the special military operation started, Putin would take phone calls from Macron, he would take phone calls from Merkel, he would listen, people could actually travel to Moscow and meet with him and have discussions. But in the four years that have transpired, he doesn’t talk to the Europeans anymore because they’ve basically opted out of rationality, opted out of sanity. Now you have Europe sitting there talking about the head of the military committee, this Italian admiral, somehow…preemptive strikes against Russia. I think Putin was just frustrated by it all and his anger showed. It’s curious what he said, because it’s something that people just aren’t reflecting on reality. Outside of Kazan, there’s a factory that is producing 1,000 of the new Geran missiles, Geran twos and threes a day, a thousand a day. Russia will use on a big day against Ukrainians about 550, usually it’s around 300, 400. Where’s the rest of those going? And they’ve been producing 1,000 a day now for months. They’re going into strategic reserve. When Putin says that it’ll be over, we’re ready right now, understand that Europe has no air defence. None. Zero. They’ve given it all to Ukraine. And Marco Rubio gave away the farm a little while ago where he said, we’ll give them two or three Patriot systems in a week later, they’re all destroyed. Welcome to reality. So all of Europe’s air defence have been stripped. All of NATO’s air defence have been stripped, sent to Ukraine, where it’s been destroyed. There is no defences. So right now what Putin is saying is we can unleash 30,000 drones a day against Europe and you can’t defend yourself and it won’t be surgical, we’re just going to take everything out. 30,000 drones a day, they could probably sustain this for seven to eight days. 210, 250,000 drones that there’s no defence against. And this is in addition to the Oreshnik, which is now operational, the Iskander S, a long range version of the Iskander missile, which nobody’s talking about, the 9M729 who has its range extended to 1,200 kilometres. Russia can touch every part of Europe with systems that Europe can’t defend itself against. So I think Putin was just basically frustrated. It’s like watching a child do stupid things and after a certain time you have to say, you’re going to fool around, you’re going to find out there will be consequences for your actions and they’ll be severe. And he was putting Europe on notice that if you want to play this game, Russia will resolve this problem instantaneously. No mobilisation, Russia doesn’t have to take a pause and get a week or two to assemble its forces, they’re ready to go right now. They have strategic drone units that have hoarded a significant number of these Geran 2 drones and they’ll just flood the skies of Europe with weapons that Europe can’t defend themselves against, and that’s the reality.”


Watch; INTERVIEW: Nato triggered the war in Ukraine, George Galloway, 23 November 2025

George Galloway; “The European counter-offer is laughable, isn’t it? And if you agree, tell us in which ways.”

Professor Glenn Diesen; ” I think laughable is a good description. Delusional is one as well. And it consists of 24 points, if I’m not mistaken. A quick summary would be, of course, going back to the ceasefire, which is no need for political settlement, just, freeze it where it is. NATO membership should still be on the menu, there will be no discussion of territory unless Ukraine agrees to it, there will be very powerful security guarantees, and why not have financial compensation that Russia has to pay Ukraine? So what they’re asking in this peace deal is essentially Russia’s capitulation. And it is quite extraordinary because Russia went to war to prevent NATO expanding into Ukraine. Then, after much suffering, Russia has now effectively won the war. Yet the Europeans think it’s reasonable to demand that the peace agreement towards the end of the Russian victory is that, yes, NATO anchors itself in Ukraine. It doesn’t really make much sense at all. Usually it’s the victorious side that gets to dictate the terms. Yet here we have the whole thing turned on its head, and I tried to make sense of it. And when you listen to the arguments of these European leaders, what they’re referring to is that they are morally right. They might not have won the war, but morally they are on the right side. That is, they keep saying, Russia is allegedly the aggressor, Ukraine is the victim, therefore it’s only fair that they get to dictate the terms. I would put some question marks around Russia simply being an aggressor, given that all the evidence has pretty much come in and we know that NATO triggered this war back in 2014. But even if it wasn’t, this is a very strange worldview where you get to dictate the terms even if you lose. It doesn’t really make any sense at all.”

George Galloway; “To consider for one minute that NATO is the moral actor in this or any other theatre of operations is a bit of a stretch. But I want to put this to you, professor, do they really mean it? I mean, you say you listen to them, I’m glad that you do, so that we don’t have to. But when they are putting forward this alternative plan, which is no plan for peace at all, do they mean it or are they simply seeking to wreck Trump’s plan? “

Glenn Diesen; “Well, they’re seeking to wreck Trump’s plan and that’s pretty much certainty. That is, they did criticise the plan to a great extent, and of course there’s always room for criticism. But it’s worth noting that the Europeans haven’t forwarded any serious plan of their own. Indeed, whenever they talk about peace it’s in terms of sending more weapons, escalating the sanctions, essentially finding a way of breaking Russia. This is the path to peace. This is why the Chinese were also so surprised when the Europeans came to them and tried to ask them to help them end the war….’we have to break Russia, this is the only solution’. So they’re not looking for peace, they’re looking for defeating the Russians. So also the Europeans aren’t talking to the Russians, they want a seat at the table, but they can’t pick up a phone, they don’t call the Russians. Why can’t they speak to Putin on their own? The whole idea is that they can’t talk to Putin without Zelensky in the room, it’s quite absurd. This is a war about the European security architecture breaking down, there’s no reason why they can’t speak to the Russians. And so the main objective, given that Europeans do not want peace, is then the only pathway forward is defeating Russia. And if you want to do this, you have to pull the United States into the war, deeper into the war. They’re already quite involved. But to do so, the Europeans have to sell the notion that they want peace and that it’s the Russians who don’t want it. So, in other words, try to direct the fury and frustration of Trump towards the Russians to make it pressure them into a peace deal, which is why they come up with this preposterous idea like unconditional ceasefire “

Putin is popular in Russia

Watch; Putin’s Calculus: Why Russia Might Welcome a Long War Judging Freedom, 13 November 2025

Professor John Mearsheimer; “I think that Putin has waged the war in a way that has kept the population satisfied with his conduct of the conflict. I don’t think he’s caused himself significant problems on the home front. I think at this point in time, almost everybody in Russia understands that the west is a mortal enemy. It’s hard to miss that basic fact. And I think that almost everybody in Russia understands that Ukraine in NATO is an existential threat to Russia. So I think the basic goals of the war cut in a way that allows Putin to have much support or continue to have much support from below. And with regard to the conduct of the war, as I said before, Putin Is doing a very smart job in terms of how he’s waging the war, because large numbers of Russians are not coming back in body bags, and he’s also not drafting people and throwing them into a meat grinder. The people who are fighting on the front lines are volunteers. And when you have volunteers fighting, they’re not dying in large numbers and the cause is considered to be legitimate, you’re okay. And I think Putin is in a very good political position in terms of his domestic audience.”


Read; WHO SABOTAGED NEGOTIATIONS BEFORE THE DONBAS WAR? The Socialist Correspondent, 9 November 2025

‘Excerpt from Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Ultrahang Youtube Channel (Moscow, 26 October 2025)

Sergey Lavrov, Foreign Minister of Russia; “Zelensky and his entourage, including Macron, Starmer, Merz and others, are still saying that Russia must withdraw from Ukraine to 1991 borders. They gathered in London for the Coalition of the Willing meeting and Starmer, while addressing the media before the event, said that President Putin is the only one who doesn’t want peace.

This statement deserves some explanation. President Putin supported the deal between the Ukrainian government and the opposition in 2014, immediately after the coup. President Obama called him and asked him not to block the deal. Putin responded, “If the legitimate president is signing something with the opposition, how can I block him?”

And then you know what happened. The coup and the Europeans’ explanation that democracy can be tricky. They did not lift a finger to stop the putschists (sudden, violent attempt to overthrow a government), even though they knew full well that they had come to power under neo-Nazi banners.

Then, in 2015, came the Minsk agreements. We negotiated the Minsk agreements. We were prepared to implement them. Later, Ukraine and the Europeans [Merkel and Hollande] said that they had never intended to do this. They just needed to buy some time.

In April 2022, a few weeks after the special military operation began, the Ukrainians requested negotiations. We agreed. We held several rounds of negotiations in Belarus and then moved to Istanbul. In Istanbul, the Ukrainian delegation presented a document outlining the principles to be incorporated into a treaty. We accepted this document. It was initialed. Then the then UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, said to the Ukrainians: “Don’t do this. Continue to fight Russia until we defeat them”.

So, when Starmer claims that Putin is the only one against negotiations, he should bear in mind his predecessor, Boris Johnson. He should also remember those in Germany and France who signed the Minsk agreements, but then admitted a few years later that they had never intended to do so, despite it being endorsed by the UN Security Council.’

Max Blumenthal; “If Ukraine had stayed neutral, as Austria had, it would be a lot wealthier right now and have a lot more territory and a lot more of its male workforce inside its territory, not driving Uber in Poland, not being treated like scapegoats for the failures of Frederick Mertz. Europe would be wealthier, Europe would be stronger, and it’s the Eurocrats, that are also to blame, I mean, von der Leyen’s rejecting the 28 point plan completely because she loses power as soon as Ukraine becomes neutral.

Aaron Maté; “They’re all rejecting it. It’s crazy. And someone who saw all this, saw that his country was being used, saw that his Western sponsors didn’t care about Ukrainians dying, is Vladimir Zelensky. This is what he said back in March 2022. Exactly what we’ve been saying all along.”

Zelensky; “Everyone has varied interests. There are those in the west who don’t mind a long war, because it would mean exhausting Russia. Even if this means the demise of Ukraine, and comes at the cost of Ukrainian lives. This is definitely in the interest of some countries.”

Aaron Maté; “Okay, so he saw it all. He, understood exactly what was happening back in March 2022. And he was saying that right as there was peace talks going on between his officials and Russian counterparts in Istanbul that were making progress. So he was closing in on a peace deal which allowed him to say the truth, that his country was being used. But unfortunately, a few weeks later, rather than finalise that peace deal, he listened to the very people he just criticised, the people who were using his country to bring about the demise of Ukraine just so they could bleed and exhaust Russia. It’s just so tragic. So now Zelensky is right back in the same position that he recognised more than three years ago. There are some people who still want to use his country, even if it means destroying it. And he’s dug himself such a deep hole that he walked away from a much better deal than he will be getting now. So it’s embarrassing for him, but I just don’t see what other choice he has.

Max Blumenthal; ” I don’t know what choice he had ever. He was a puppet. He realised that. And he couldn’t stand up to the Azov ultra-nationalist forces within his own country. How was he going to stand up against pressure from the financiers of post-Maidan Ukraine? Once the Maidan coup took place, Ukraine lost all sovereignty, and that’s a wrap. So finally, the Trump administration seems to be moving in the right direction here. Keith Kellogg is retiring. The war seems to have exhausted itself and they want to pivot, I think they want to pivot east.

Aaron Maté; “You know, on your point about Zelensky not being able to stand up to the ultra nationalists, someone who also admitted that was the aforementioned Boris Johnson. This is another very revealing clip. Boris Johnson said this earlier this year.”

Boris Johnson; “You got to remember that Volodymyr Zelensky he’s not an unreasonable guy. He got elected really, as a peacenik, in 2019 he tried to do a deal with Putin. As far as I can remember his basic problem was that the Ukrainian nationalists couldn’t accept the compromise.”

Aaron Maté; ” There you go. Ukrainian nationalists couldn’t accept the compromise. I mean, how much more do you need to hear. When we say stuff like this it’s dismissed as Russian propaganda.”

Merz, Macron, Starmer, what’s the other fella in Finland? Stubbs. We’ve got a Rutte and we’ve got a Stubbs in this picture, too. These people are not sane. These are not well men. Trump’s plan rules out NATO membership forever for Ukraine. The European leaders’ counter plan is that Ukraine must be free to join NATO anytime it likes. Trump’s plan says cut the Ukrainian armed forces to a figure eight times greater than the armed forces of the United Kingdom. Bad enough, but the European leaders’ plan is no cap on the Ukrainian armed forces at all. Trump’s plan excludes foreign armies entering Ukraine, the European leaders demand to be allowed to send their sons at your expense indefinitely to be an occupation force in Ukraine. The European peace plan is a war plan. If any line of it is incorporated, it will render null and void Putin’s declaration that Trump’s plan might be the basis for a settlement structure.”

Watch; Ukraine Rocked By Corruption Scandal, Germany Sends Billions More to Zelensky w/ John Helmer with Dimitri Lascalis, 16 November 2025

John Helmer; “To sort it all out. I think one could say that the Mindich scandal is part of Kolomoisky’s revenge for being put in jail by Zelensky. Why is he in jail? Because the Americans got sick of Kolomoisky when Kolomoisky began to say, it’s (war in Ukraine) bad for all of us, bad for business, to keep fighting against Russia. A we’re losing, said Igor Kolomoisky, This is the man who helped start and fund the Azov battalions that took up much of the original fighting in Mariupol as you know, and as you’ve documented. Kolomoisky came to the conclusion pretty early on that there had to be a negotiated settlement, otherwise Ukraine would lose and lose and lose. In other words, Kolomoisky got the common sense idea that the sooner Ukraine came to terms, the better. The Americans, particularly the Nuland, Blinken, Biden gang, didn’t want that and they put immense pressure on Zelensky to get rid of, as he did, Igor Kolomoisky. So Kolomoisky is in jail and is now happily reading about the miseries inflicted on some of the people with whom he was associated in business and who’ve broken away from him and are helping themselves to stealing from his old businesses. I think that’s said enough about how they fight each other and bite each other, so long as we don’t lose the main point here. These people, leaving Kolomoisky aside, don’t want to negotiate with Russia. Everything they do, their bank accounts, their palaces inside Ukraine, their offshore toys, their offshore assets, everything depends on keeping the war going so they can go on stealing. So if the Ukraine is unready for negotiations and this corruption scandal proves that it doesn’t prove anything else. It proves they can’t reach an accommodation among themselves. What should Russia do? Answer very clear, turn their lights off. Make sure that the toilet, whether it’s a golden toilet or a plastic white one, or whatever the toilet is, doesn’t flush because there’s no electricity to pump water and control the sewage systems.


Watch; LtCOL. Karen Kwiatkowski: Is Russia Afraid of NATO? Judging Freedom, 4 November 2025

Judge Napolitano; “If you listen to Friedrich Merz or Keir Starmer or Emmanuel Macron, they sound as if they think this is inconceivable, but this is the way they sound to me, that Russia is afraid of NATO. I don’t think the Russian leadership is afraid of anything, certainly not NATO.

Karen Kwiatkowski ; “No. And NATO really isn’t functional. It never has been functional without US leadership and investment and direction. But it’s not functional even today, because Trump’s pulling away from NATO. So they’re in a transition period that they can’t get out of. They can’t move through it, because there’s a way to move through it for Europe to be prosperous and free and not threatened by neighbours. Because the facts are, just to give you an example of how they’re either lying or misreading Russia, they think Russia is going to come and, you know, do something to Europe, right? Take them over, occupy their land. I don’t know what. At the same time, in the same conversation, they’ll notice, then they’ll. They’ll emphasise, hey, Russia’s been fighting for four years in Ukraine and all they have is a little sliver of land on the eastern border. You know, the Donbas, that’s all they really have. So they’re really weak, you know, so what is it? Choose your narrative and stick with it. And they can’t. Because the real problem is those elites are. They’re on the way out, whether they know it, whether they sense it, but they’re on the way out. The movements in the European countries is towards populism…they don’t have any use for these elites. These elites are pointless, they’re expensive, they’re warmongering and they’re stupid. And that is the assessment, I think, of their own people. How do they get out of that? How do you exit stage left here? How do they do it? They don’t. They’re not willing to. So they’re tagging along with the US, which Trump is happy to draw them in, because the price of that is you buy nobody else’s gas and oil, except American gas and oil, you know, high, expensive, you’ll pay our tariffs with a smile on your face, its really terrible.”


Read; The “Russian threat” is all over the news again Craig Murray, 20 November 2025

‘The Russian ‘threat’ is all over the news again, but with only a cursory glance the embellishments of the story become startlingly evident.

By “British waters” they mean the 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which are international waters, not British. Russian vessels, including military vessels, have every right to enter the EEZ.

British military vessels enter Russia’s EEZ all the time. In fact, the UK operates dozens of covert intelligence gathering operations a month. Listening stations on the baltics, black sea, Atlantic, Mediterranean. Not to mention supplying real time intel to the Israeli military in Gaza for its “humanitarian mission” this costs the British taxpayer undisclosed billions a year.

GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters), the UK’s signals intelligence (SIGINT) and information assurance agency, coordinates one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated intelligence-gathering operations, both overt and covert, on a global scale.

As for the actual story, no major media outlet has deemed it worthy to do the most basic of fact checks, as each dutifully regurgitates the government’s jingoistic narrative.

As Craig Murray says:

“No British media appears to have been able to speak to anybody who knows the first thing about the Law of the Sea.

“This war talk is of course the normal refuge of extremely unpopular governments. But it is part of a wider tightening of the grip of the military industrial complex on the state. Starmer is committed to increasing military expenditure by tens of billions of pounds a year, while imposing austerity on the rest of the economy.

“The rise of domestic racism and authoritarianism is accompanied by the increase in militarism and the desire to portray Russia and China as enemy states with whom we are already in a state of proto-war. The state has a mainstream media which is showing itself willing to pump out even the most thin propaganda to this end with no interrogation whatsoever.

“Western democracy has already died. Not everybody has yet noticed.”

Watch; The European leaders are now the biggest obstacle to peace in the world George Galloway, 8 November 2025

George Galloway; “The European Union leaders are now the biggest obstacle to peace in the world. They are the biggest threat of World War III in the world. They are working their puppets on the Baltic coast, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Finland to mount ever more serious provocations, any one of which could lead to the outbreak of World War III. Just the other night, Kaliningrad, don’t forget that name, it’s a part of Russia, it’s what you call an exclave, it is surrounded by hostile NATO member states. The Suwalki gap is the tripwire where World War III might break out. The European Union is openly threatening to blockade hundreds of thousands of Russian citizens in Kaliningrad. And not just citizens, but tens of thousands of Russian armed forces, including Russian nuclear forces. Kaliningrad is a vital interest for Russia, as vital as Moscow, as vital as St. Petersburg. Russia will not allow its people and its assets there to be threatened by these yapping dogs who surround it. So never forget the word Kaliningrad. It might just be the last word on your lips, in your ears. Let’s pray not.”

Douglas Macgregor; “I think the Europeans, frankly, when I say Europeans, I should stop and say not Europeans, but the globalist elites governing Europe, because I think the French, the British, the Germans and others in Europe have had it with the EU and NATO, to be perfectly blunt. I think those two institutions will crumble and go out of existence whenever this fighting really finally ends, doesn’t have any future. But having said that, I think the globalists would like to perpetuate in any way possible hostility with Russia, because that, in their minds, helps to justify their positions in power. How could you turn around if you’re Merz or Macron or Starmer said, oh, by the way, you know, we were wrong, Russia really isn’t the threat we said it was, the Russians are not coming West, they’re not going to camp on the banks of the Rhine River, that’s all nonsense, we think we can come to an agreement. Well, that’s very difficult for them to do, and that makes it very hard on President Trump, because President Trump doesn’t seem to have the authority or the will to impose what he wants on the Europeans.”

Read; Palestinian bodies returned by Israel with organs ‘professionally removed’: surgeon The New Arab, 9 November 2025

‘UK-based surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah says bodies of deceased Palestinians returned to Gaza by Israel show signs of professional organ extraction.

The mutilated bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel show signs of expert organ removal, likely for organ harvesting, renowned British-Palestinian plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah has said.

Speaking to Al Jazeera earlier this week, Abu Sittah shared his professional opinion on images of the deceased Palestinians shown to him by the Qatar-based news outlet.

“The first observation is that, in all the bodies that organs were harvested or removed are those that are now routinely transplanted: the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and corneas,” Abu Sittah, who spent more than a month working in Gaza’s hospitals during the war, said.

The plastic and reconstructive surgeon added that the precision with which the organs were removed indicated a professional hand.’

“What you’re looking at are the bodies of the hundreds of Palestinians given back as part of the ceasefire exchange. These are some of the photos that had to be shown to surviving families in Gaza in hopes that they could identify the remains of their loved ones, in hopes that they had something to bury. While you look, imagine having to stare at the images of your murdered people, all so that you can grieve those you love. Imagine having to see their faces in bodies like this, faces beaten, bloodied and flattened, bodies bound, broken, blindfolded and forever imprinted with the tracks of the tanks that ran them over. These people aren’t in this condition because they were under the rubble, these people are in this condition because they were under Israeli detention. These people, illegally kidnapped, held hostage, circulation cut off with zip ties, tortured and mutilated, executed point blank or under the weight of the tanks we pay for. Palestinian families in Gaza gathered in the bombed out remains of Nasser Hospital to look at these photos. And they were told that peace has been achieved, that the people that can do this deserve our defence funding and security. People who can lie about settlers bulldozing homes in Gaza and then use that as an excuse to carry out more than 100 airstrikes and blockade. That’s supposedly the nation working for peace.”


Listen; Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Is Trump Planning More Wars? Judging Freedom, 2 December 2025

Judge Napoliano; “We’re now a month after the Witkoff/ Kushner/ Tony Blair (as Governor General of Gaza) so-called peace plan. Are you satisfied it’s a failure and the Netanyahu regime never had an intention to comply with phase two or phase three?”

Jeffrey Sachs; ” Netanyahu certainly doesn’t have any intention, so anything that depends on Israel being a willing partner of the next phases isn’t going to work. What Israel wants is absolutely clear, it could not be more vivid, it wants complete control over the Palestinian lands permanently and it wants continued ethnic cleansing or any other means to achieve that complete control. So Israel continues to kill Palestinians in very large numbers, both in Gaza and on the West Bank. It continues demolitions, destroying buildings in Gaza, it continues confiscating land and property in the West Bank. So Israel is not a willing participant in this. The question of peace in the region depends entirely on the United States, not on Israel. Israel is unwilling. It has its agenda. It thinks that it has Donald Trump in its pocket and they may be right.”

Judge Napolitano; “Did Trump bite off more than he can chew? Can he realistically enforce a permanent ceasefire and restructure of the governance of Gaza and deal with the political and financial blowback that will come his way here in the US? “

Jeffrey Sachs; “He could, but he does not yet have anything like that in hand. The way that success could be achieved is a political solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. A political solution, as we discuss almost weekly, is a state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel. Trump has not backed that, even though more than 180 countries in the world actively back that, even though more than 150 countries recognise the state of Palestine. Without that, there is no political solution and therefore there is no peace, there’s no disarmament of Hamas, there’s no way forward. So if you say, could Trump do this? Yes. If there’s a political solution, then ask the question, could he do that politically in the US? Well, yes in the sense that the American people, to the extent that we count anymore, would strongly support that. Every opinion survey shows the American people want the US government to recognise the state of Palestine. The American people want the United States to stop supporting Israel’s slaughter. So from the point of view of voting, from the point of view of his base, from the point of view of American public opinion, he could do this. But then there would obviously be the zionist lobby, which is powerful, and as president, he would have to face that down. Could he do that? Of course he could. That’s the job of leadership. Is he going to do that? Much more doubtful.”


Watch; I’m an eighteen year old Jewish American and two weeks ago I was deported from Israel, Solidarity of Nations Achvat Amim, 24 November 2025

“Hi, I’m Leila. I’m an 18-year-old Jewish American and two weeks ago I was deported from Israel while participating in a peaceful olive harvest. I was on a programme during my gap year called Achvat Amim which means Solidarity of Nations in Hebrew. Before being deported, I spent two amazing months living in Jerusalem, learning about both Jews’ and Palestinians’ histories on the land and examining the current reality on the ground. Achvat Amim’s mission is self-determination, free for all people in the place they call home. A goal which participants work towards by learning, becoming immersed in communities in Israel, Palestine and by volunteering. The day I was deported I was volunteering with the NGO Rabbis for Human Rights aiding Palestinian families in the olive harvest. The olive harvest is many Palestinian families’ main source of income, and as settler violence rises at an alarming rate, it is becoming harder for the families to safely reach their fields without attacks on their crops or themselves by settlers. Each harvest season, groups of Jewish, Israeli and international activists accompany families to their fields to assert that people are watching, that we refuse to stand by as settlers burn Palestinians’ fields and uproot their olive trees. The day I was deported, I spent hours in a tree in an idyllic olive grove the group of activists had been invited to by the Palestinian family who owned it. That morning the van the group of 11 activists had come on from Jerusalem was turned around at the entrance to the village. Our group’s leader was shown a map of the closed military zone the IDF had instated only minutes before we arrived, and our bus went the other direction. I did not see the map the IDF presented and was unaware the field we entered was in a closed military zone. My consequence for entering was a 10-year ban from the country. My deportation is surprising and outrageous, but I understand its purpose. It inspires fear. It discourages solidarity work because solidarity threatens the status quo of occupation which seeks to keep Israelis and Palestinians diametrically opposed. The police and the IDF claimed I was arrested because I disturbed public order. But I was in an olive grove where I had been invited to come harvest, picking olives and drinking tea. While the IDF imposes these closed military zones across the West Bank, arrests activists and issues demolition orders on Palestinians homes, settlers terrorise families, murder sheep, beat old women, set cars on fire and establish outposts on Palestinians land. There is no greater disruption to public order imaginable and settlers enjoy total impunity. When activists come to the West Bank to aid in the olive harvest or to do protective presence, we remind the settlers that there are people watching and this threatens a status quo and a government that takes pride in using Judaism to justify violence. Programmes like Akhlat Amim, NGOs like Rabbis for Human Rights, the Centre for Jewish Non-Violence and countless other solidarity movements are on the ground every single day and they need your support. You can donate to Achvat Amim by following the link in their bio and connect on Instagram to other solidarity movements. Solidarity works. It is the most impactful, non-violent way to assert that there is no safety but shared safety and no future besides a shared future.”


Watch or Read; Is Israel ‘On the Brink?’ (w/ Ilan Pappé) The Chris Hedges Report, 30 October 2025

‘Despite the demoralisation and destruction produced by Israel’s two-year-long genocidal campaign on the Palestinians, Israel potentially finds itself at its weakest point in its short history.

In his new book, Israel on the Brink, renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé makes the case that Israel’s current path forward is unsustainable. With a combination of domestic, political, military and international pressures, Israel will continue to destabilise.

Pappé writes, “A potential fall of Israel could either be like the end of South Vietnam, the total erasure of a state, or like South Africa, the fall of a particular ideological regime and its replacement by another. I believe that in the case of Israel, elements of both scenarios will unfold sooner than many of us can comprehend or prepare for.”

Hedges and Pappé chronicle the path Israel has taken to reach this point, one of radical religious fanaticism manifesting itself in figures such as Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben-Gvir at the highest positions in government, and what the future looks like for them as well as the devastated Palestinian population.’


Watch; This is why Maccabi Tel Aviv was banned, West Midland Police, 1 December 2025

‘Following last month’s ban on fans from Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv attending a Europa League fixture against Aston Villa, West Midlands Police told a Home Affairs Committee hearing why they decided to bar the racist and violent supporters.’

Craig Guildford, Chief Constable West Midlands Police; “On Wednesday, the 1st of October, and this is very important, I sat down with the Chief Inspector, who is our planning expert, who had spoken to the three Dutch police commanders, and this really, panel, is where the difference occurs between what Lord Mann has said and the information that was provided to the Chief Inspector. And the information provided from the Dutch was very, very clear in terms of they reflected on the days before, during and after the match as a result of clashes between the Maccabi Ultras and the local Muslim community. The police in Amsterdam were very stretched, particularly the day before, because they hadn’t assessed the match as being high risk from their perspective, and they informed us very clearly, and I’ve spoken to the Chief Inspector myself on Wednesday of last week, that they said they deployed 2,000 riot police on the day of the match. And where the 5,000 comes from is exactly as you said, which is our professional assumption of our Silver Commander, which is over the three and four days of the actual event, you’d need about 5,000 police officers. So, in terms of what we were told, the Ultras were very well organised, militaristic in the way that they operated. They attacked members of the local community, including taxi drivers, tore down flags, people were thrown into the river and definitely the singing, and I think the question from one of your colleagues earlier about the “no schools in Gaza, as the children were all dead”, they further stated that this group specifically targeted the local Muslim community deliberately. Members of the local and wider Muslim community subsequently reacted and deliberately, then on the day after, mainly attacked Maccabi fans on match day, both before the match and after the match, as Lord Mann has made reference to. That’s what we were told. The Dutch commanders were unequivocal. They would never want to have Maccabi Tel Aviv playing in Amsterdam again in the future. That was what they said to our Chief Inspector.”


Watch; 11 years ago they already knew The Good Life, 20 November 2025

“How to be a Jew after the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. I’m a Jew born in America in 1948, and I was brought up to believe that I had two enemies in particular. I mean, the whole world is an enemy and a threat, but two in particular. One was the German people because of what they did to us, and the other was the Arabs, as we called them, because of what they would do to us if we didn’t have Israel. Fast forward to middle age when I finally visit these so called enemies. I go to Palestine and I find out that we have driven out an entire population and we’re engaged in a process of ethnically cleansing an indigenous population, a beautiful wonderful culture to make room for our so called redemption. And I knew that there could be no redemption based on that. I found the occupation of Palestine, which was a continuation of what had really begun in 1948, which was a system, a method of ethnically cleansing anyone who was not Jewish out of the territory that had been planned back in the 30s by the zionist leaders. The story of Palestinian suffering, of Palestinian dispossession, that is our story for today. That is the Jewish story of today. The Jewish story of today is not the story of our suffering in the past, which gives us total innocence and the right to do whatever we want. Our story of today is the story of what we are doing to another people. Our story is the Nakba, what the Palestinians call the catastrophe, their holocaust. And if we do not understand that this is our story, we are done for. And I tell you, Rabbi, that the day will come when we will be on our knees in contrition and beating our breasts in shame for what we have done. And may that day come speedily and in our times, as the Jewish prayer goes.”


Read; I don’t mourn the death of the myth of western humanity. Kym Staton, The Trust Fall: Julian Assange, 20 November 2025

‘The myth died with our inability to stop the genocide in Gaza.

It was a myth stitched together from smoke and mirrors, a carnival performed over a charred stage.

It was a myth whose words dripped like oil into rivers of ash, and every promise it made smelled faintly of sulfur.

It was a myth that had never touched reality, veiled in the rhetoric of law and justice, ignoring the lives it had crushed beneath it.

It was a myth that hung framed on the office walls of presidents and prime ministers, reflecting chandeliers and applause, while the rights it promised lay buried beneath fallen concrete.

It was a myth that masked ruthless power and greed whispering in every corridor, feeding on fear, shaping laws, and trading lives like commodities, while it covered their tracks with promises of justice and light.

It was a myth whose facade of “freedom and democracy” had always been a bald eagle soaring high, wings stretched wide in glory, while its claws tore into the civilians below.

It was a myth that danced like a carnival of mirrors reflecting hope, and disappeared when people reached for it. Its shards scattered across the sky, each one a promise broken, glinting briefly before vanishing into the haze of indifference.

It was a myth that lulled many people into passivity, assuring them that “someone will do something about this.”

It was a myth when Gaza appeared on our screens, the first genocide broadcast in 4K; burning schools and hospitals and child-sized body bags carried by grieving parents. But knowing did not translate to stopping. Neutrality had become a tool, every “complexity” offered like a shovel passed hand to hand. Appeals for restraint fell like dust. Ritual statements of condemnation were spoken to ears that had never intended to hear. Weapons were sent. ‘Self defence’ became a god, and children somehow became acceptable sacrifices to keep it fed. “Never again” was a promise carved after the 2nd World War – from the ashes of the Holocaust – but this promise was hollow. It clearly wasn’t intended for everyone.

The myth of western humanity died when the weight of unfathomable ongoing suffering in Gaza collapsed the lie.

Today in Gaza, children wake into mornings that ask too much – to be brave and to remain alive in streets exhausted by grief. A mother pulls damp blankets around her children in a tent filling with winter rainwater while drones trace circles above the mud that has become her home, a father digs with his hands looking for their relatives bodies. Gaza endures, steadfast and grieving, insisting on existence even as the world turns away.

I don’t mourn the death of the myth. What I do mourn are the lives of innocents, children whose small hands were made still while the world looked away, the futures that were erased before they could begin. Every name lost is a scar across memory, a testament to our collective failure.

Palestinian lives deserve more than footnotes of tragedy, more than conditions dictated by checkpoints or siege, more than narratives written by those who have never tasted the dust. They deserve a home where childhood can be ordinary, and the sea could be a horizon instead of a blockade. They deserve the call of the muezzin at dawn without fear, the smell of za’atar and fresh bread from neighborhood ovens, and the songs that have carried Gaza through centuries of resilience.

The myth died, and truth emerged – sharp and stinging with clarity: humanity had borders, drawn across Palestinian bodies as though they were only terrain, not people.

The myth crumbled like a castle of sand beneath a rising tide. Space opened for something real: a humanity that recognises worth without consent.

Truth can rise where the myth has fallen – freedom indivisible, realisation could land on the conscience of anyone who had witnessed this atrocity and stayed silent. Truth can illuminate what power tries to bury, and demand that accountability finds a voice.

The living deserve more than sympathy without action, more than paused statements, more than sanitised sorrow. They deserve a future, a world that refuses to accept that some lives must be lost so that myths could live.

Now that the myth has died, there is room for regrowth. Truth can push up through broken ground where illusions once stood.

The death of the myth of western civilisation illusion could be a new beginning. A more honest world could take shape.’

‘After UNSC resolution passed, Israel expanded aggression targeting Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.’

‘On the UK Column News today I explain the possible back stories to the shock Russia and China abstentions on the Trump peace scam resolution at the UN Security Council. Since the news further information has come to light:

1: Hamas Says It Reached Out to China, Russia, and Other UNSC Members

Hamas official Osama Hamdan confirmed in an interview with Al Jazeera Mubasher that the movement had been in direct contact with China, Russia, and “most Security Council members” as part of a diplomatic push to block the U.S. proposal for an international force in Gaza.

He said Hamas and other factions sent detailed memoranda warning that the plan would “impose guardianship” on Gaza, sideline Palestinian institutions, and fail to protect civilians from renewed Israeli attacks. Hamdan added that the outreach also included the Arab and Islamic blocs, urging them to back an alternative framework grounded in Palestinian sovereignty and civilian protection.

2: UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese warned that Resolution 2803 “runs counter to the Palestinian right to self-determination” and risks legitimising “ongoing mass violence.” She said the Council failed to ground its response in the body of law it is obligated to uphold, noting: “I am deeply perplexed… the Council has chosen not to act in accordance with the Purposes and Principles of the United Nations.”

Albanese said the resolution entrenches “external control over Gaza’s governance, borders, security, and reconstruction,” replacing legal obligations with a “security-first, capital-driven model of foreign control.”

She condemned the plan for disarming Palestinian groups while ignoring “Israel’s ongoing unlawful siege, occupation, racial segregation and apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.”

She called the proposed force under a U.S.-chaired “Board of Peace” unlawful: “It is a brazen attempt to impose… US and Israeli interests, plain and simple.” She warned it would leave Palestinians under “a puppet administration,” adding: “Replacing an abusive trustee with another is not self-determination.”

Albanese said any international presence in Gaza must supervise Israel’s “immediate and unconditional withdrawal,” protect civilians, stop displacement, and support Palestinians in determining their own political future.

She concluded: “This is an existential moment… Only an approach rooted in justice, legality, and self-determination can lead to genuine peace.”‘


Watch; Matt Hoh : Europe at War With Itself Judging Freedom, 13 November 2025

Matt Hoh; “The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights just put out a report this week. This aligns with what the United Nations has reported, what journalists have reported, what human rights organisations, including Israel’s own B’Tselem, have reported from for years now that rape, sexual assault, humiliation are all tools that are used systematically and deliberately by the Israelis against the Palestinians. Thousands and thousands of Palestinian prisoners have endured humiliation, assault, sexual assault, rape, at the hands of the Israelis because that is the practice, and it’s a practice that is an end to itself. They are doing this because as Dostoevsky says, ‘power and blood intoxicate’. And this tyranny that exists against the Palestinians by Israelis, this episode in particular, shows the broader issue here. It shows the monstrosity that Israel is. And so I think these divisions, this fracture, you know, the concern about a civil war in Israel, this all comes from the reality of how Israel has existed and carried out itself over these last decades, that it is a nation of tyranny. It is a nation that is cruel and unjust. And its treatment of the Palestinians, its occupation, its apartheid, its genocide, is ultimately what will be Israel’s own undoing.”

Judge Napolitano; “I mean, this may sound absurd, but I have to ask it. Is rape legal in Israel? Does it just matter the ethnicity of the victim?”

Matt Hoh; “Well, it certainly seems that many in Israel, Judge, feel that it should be legal. If you recall when this tape first emerged about a year and a half ago, there were riots. People attacked the prison itself, trying to ensure the safety of these prison guards. There were essentially again riots in the Knesset where Knesset members, some members of the Israeli Parliament were violent in their support of the right of Israeli soldiers, Israeli prison guards, Israeli authorities to rape Palestinians. So there is a very large segment within Israel that sees itself as having this right to do as it wishes, this entitlement.”


Has the rape scandal destroyed Israel’s reputation? Professor Mearsheimer

Watch; A few questions about Israel, Judging Freedom, 13 November 2024

Judge Napolitano; “From your understanding, has the Israeli prison rape scandal strengthened or weakened Prime Minister Netanyahu’s standing amongst the Israeli people?”

John Mearsheimer; “I think it’s probably had not much effect, and the sad reason is that so many Israelis support the rapists and don’t think that the rapist should be prosecuted. And of course, that’s Prime Minister Netanyahu’s basic position. So the fact that he’s behaving in barbaric ways with regard to this terrible rape is not going to hurt him politically. And in fact, it may very well help him.”

Judge Napolitano; “Chris has a clip here. So I don’t know if this is spontaneous or staged, but this is the courtroom before the judge comes out. This is the actual courtroom where these guys are appearing. A, they have masks on. B, there’s a crowd there applauding them. How can a country whose government endorses the most indefensible and reprehensible behaviour imaginable show its face on the international scene and expect to be treated as sovereign?”

John Mearsheimer; “Well, the problem here for Israel is that its reputation is in tatters. That has long portrayed itself as this noble liberal democracy, the only liberal democracy in the Middle East, a country that has western values, the whole argument, and what’s happened since October 7th, is that it’s been exposed that that is a distortion of reality.

This is a country that is in deep trouble. It’s become a nightmare. And more and more people recognise that. And what that means is that Israel’s supporters in the west and Israel itself are going to enormous lengths to cover up this basic fact. That’s hard to ignore. But Israel is a country that is in deep, deep trouble.”

Narration; “Identity theft typically refers to someone stealing your credit card or bank account information. But what if a distant, long forgotten cousin returned to steal your home, your inheritance and your future and claimed them as his own, erasing you from your own history? That’s what happened in Palestine. Zionist propaganda turned the indigenous descendants of the land’s ancient peoples into foreigners, and the actual foreigners into returning natives. Multiple genetic studies show that Palestinian Arabs are the closest living population to the ancient Israelites and Bronze Age Canaanites. Far closer on average than any of zionism’s European founders. On what basis did settlers from Poland, Russia and Germany claim the ancient kingdoms of the Levant as their exclusive heritage and weaponise that myth against a people who are biologically and by centuries of stubbornly rooted endurance in the same soil, far more connected to those ancient populations? Over five millennia, the descendants of the Canaanites followed many religions. Canaanite polytheism, Yaoism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They spoke many languages. Canaanite, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and eventually Arabic. Through all those changes, they farmed the same valleys, terraced the same hillsides, and harvested olives from trees centuries old. They preserved a way of life that survived countless conquerors and empires. That continuity is written in the modern Palestinian genome, an unbroken 5,000 year link to the Bronze Age land of Canaan.”

John Elmer; “This is a very difficult, very difficult point in this war because the resistance listened to the population, who are their families, who were in desperate situation with winter coming on, and they, massive gamble, trusted that Trump’s word would keep this ceasefire in place. Every day, when we learn more about what Israel and Trump believe the ceasefire is, it’s elastic. The ceasefire lines are elastic, the targeting reasons are elastic. It’s just, it’s, it’s a bad omen. It portends a trajectory of an ongoing war where one side attacks the other and the other at risk of their families being genocided, can’t respond.”


Watch; ‘When is the world going to do anything about what’s happening in Gaza?

Jeffrey Sachs; “I think that there are probably three arenas that we should consider. First is the battlefield itself where Israel is mass murdering the Palestinian people. I don’t expect any of the regional powers to land troops or to be in a direct war over this issue. So I don’t expect Russia or China or any of the Arab countries to land troops and open a war with Israel. The second area is on the diplomatic front. Every single day there is a worldwide condemnation of Israel, some of which gets reported in the US, most of which does not. The Security Council meeting yesterday was an overwhelming condemnation of Israel’s genocide and starvation, but it doesn’t get even mentioned. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation had a meeting in Jeddah on August 25th condemning this. That’s 57 Muslim majority countries. The BRICS condemn this routinely. China, Russia, Brazil, India condemn this routinely. It doesn’t get picked up. So they don’t intervene on the battlefield, but they are not sitting back or complacent or winking at Israel, but they don’t do more, let’s say, than condemnation. The third would be an increasing set of measures that I think should be taken. I think Israel is warranting suspension from the UN General Assembly. I would recommend it because I believe that this is a completely lawless, murderous, genocidal regime. I don’t think there’s any other country in the world remotely doing what Israel is doing in terms of the violence and the mass murder and the mass starvation. So there could be Israel’s suspension from the UN, this was at least raised at the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) meeting. There could be a break of diplomatic relations which I think should be in the cards. There could be a suspension or end of the so-called Abraham Accords. Remember of course, I think everyone knows the US military is all over the Middle East. In a way the Middle Eastern countries often feel more like occupied countries than they do with sovereigns. They worry that if they are too vocal the United States will do something, overthrow their regimes, foment unrest, to do the things that the United States covert operations do for a living. So I think that there is some trepidation there. But the fact of the matter is both the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and most other groups in the world and I would say the UN General Assembly, more than 180 of the 193 countries are openly aghast. But I think stronger measures are needed right now, and these are measures that might be blocked if it’s through the UN, but could be taken by dozens or well over 100 countries on their own, breaking diplomatic relations, putting on boycotts and sanctions. Israel is completely out of control. Mass starvation is not an acceptable policy for the world. It should not be tolerated one moment longer.”


Watch; Melanie Phillips conveys one message: Israel will always be at war David Hearst, Middle East Eye, 27 November 2025

Intro; ‘David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, says that Melanie Phillips used her speech at the Rage Against the Hate conference in New York to deny the existence of Palestine, claim all land between the river and the sea belongs to Jews, and describe Islam as a “death cult.” He notes she told diaspora Jews they were “too soft” and should emulate the “warrior Jews of the Tanakh who killed real people.”

Hearst says that Phillips’s core message was clear: Israel will be permanently at war. For decades, liberals fed willingly at the trough of Israeli myths, believing peace depended on finding Palestinian moderates to talk to. Now, he says, they are being told the opposite, that Israel’s biblical destiny is to reclaim a far larger land because it has been assigned to them by God.

Such rhetoric, he argues, only reinforces what Palestinians, Lebanese and Syrians under bombardment already know. And while messages like these have already cost Israel support among Democrats, it is the Christian isolationist wing of Trump’s MAGA base that Israel has most to fear, as they increasingly reject the burden of endless war.

Hearst concludes that Phillips’ unvarnished Islamophobic vitriol will not bar her from BBC platforms, nor will anyone challenge her zealotry. “Phillips is right,” Hearst says. “The West, and the BBC along with it, is sinking, but it is sinking because it tolerates and accommodates voices like hers.”


Watch; William Dalrymple: ‘Britain’s education system sold me a lie about Palestine’ Middle East Eye, 7 July 2025

“I was sold a lie.” One of Britain’s most acclaimed historians slams the country’s education system – which he feels has distorted the history of Palestine, portraying it as an “empty desert” before 1948.

In this Real Talk interview, William Dalrymple shares his views on Britain’s historical responsibility towards Palestine, and calls out the UK government’s ongoing cooperation with Israel, including supplying weapons, amid its war on Gaza.

He reflects on what he witnessed in the West Bank while writing his book ‘From the Holy Mountain’, from settler violence to a “concerted drive to Judaise Jerusalem”, and explains why he sees the current crisis in Gaza as “one of the supreme human rights horrors of our time”.


Settler violence in Palestine

Watch; The Violence of Israeli Settlers, Middle East Eye, 19 November 2025

“They can come today and shoot any shepherd anywhere and nobody would even investigate.” Armed settlers on hilltops. Homes stormed at dawn. Children harassed on their way to school. While the world’s attention stays on Gaza, violence in the occupied West Bank has surged and reached its most intense levels in years. MEE spoke to experts to uncover how more than 1,000 settler attacks have have happened this year according to UN figures, why soldiers often stand by or protect the assailants, and how expanding settlements and new annexation bills are reshaping Palestinian life on the ground. From assaulted olive farmers to entire communities cut off from their land, Palestinians describe a reality where safety no longer exists and where annexation is not a future threat, but a present reality.’

MEE Presenter; “They appear on the hilltops, often armed, sometimes with bats, sometimes with guns. They descend into Palestinian villages, storm homes and harass children on their way to school. They beat, burn and sometimes kill. These are the Israeli settlers of the occupied West Bank and their violence is growing.”

Gideon Levy; “Those, part of them are disturbed young people, really disturbed. You should see that. Motivated with a very dangerous combination of messiah religious beliefs and terrible hatred and racism toward Palestinians.”

MEE Presenter; “While much of the world’s attention has been on Gaza over the past few years, less than 33 kilometres away, settlers continue daily assaults. This year is on track to become the most violent yet, with more than 1,000 attacks so far.

Witness; “The most prominent attack or violation is hitting people directly, hitting on the body. I’m talking about bruises, fractures. It also reached killing people inside their lands with gunfire or by beating.”

MEE Presenter; “But how has such aggression gone unchecked? And why now more than ever has settler violence intensified despite being prohibited under both Israeli and international law?”

Gideon Levy; “You have to understand that the settlers saw the 7th of October not only as a catastrophe, but as a great opportunity to take advantage of the fact that all the focus is on Gaza. They became much more violent in the last two years because they know very well that they can do whatever they want and they can come today and shoot any shepherd anywhere and nobody would even investigate.”

MEE Presenter; “”It’s olive harvest season in Palestine, a time traditionally symbolising resilience and Palestinians connection to their land. But this video, recorded by an American journalist, shows Israeli settlers assaulting Palestinian olive farmers.

Video; “Oh, come on. Don’t hit her. Hey. Oh, my. Hey. Hey. Hey. Holy. Hey. Oh, no.”

MEE Presenter; ” “What was once a season of hope has become one of fear, with the United nations warning that this year’s olive harvest could be the most violent in more than a decade. The violence towards Palestinians often goes unchecked by Israeli soldiers, at times protecting the settlers as they attack with impunity. The surge in violence comes amid rapid settlement expansion in the West Bank.

Witness; “I think it’s the core value for Israel. They want to seize its lands, to build the greater Israel and to create the greater Israel and to create also the greater Jerusalem.”

Gideon Levy; “The facts on the ground are that in the last two years, dozens and dozens and dozens of new settlements, illegal outposts, appeared, so the expansion is happening now on a daily basis.”

MEE Presenter; “For many, the surge in settler violence and relentless settlement expansion leave little room for debate. Annexation isn’t coming. It’s already here. And life for Palestinians in the West Bank grows ever more precarious.”


“Our sovereignty is here because we got it from God.” Daniella Weiss

Watch; I don’t believe in videos wake.u.ppp, 2 November 2025

‘Israeli settler leader Daniella Weiss made the controversial remark during an ITV News interview with reporter James Smith after he offered to show her evidence of the latest attack on Palestinians by illegal Israeli settlers. Weiss closed her eyes and refused to watch, repeating that there was “no settler violence” and claiming instead that settlers were the victims.

Weiss, sanctioned by the UK and long seen as a key figure in the illegal settler movement, insisted: “There is violence against settlers, no settler violence.” The exchange, featured in ITV News coverage of a viral video showing shocking settler attacks, highlights Weiss’s history of controversy and her refusal to acknowledge widely documented acts of violence in the occupied West Bank.’


Zarah Sultana calls for a single democratic state in Palestine

Watch; MP Sultana moved to tears during BBC interview recalling West Bank visit and apartheid system MiddleEastEye, 31 October 2025

Presenter; “Your father took you to the West Bank and together you saw what I think then led to you feeling so passionate. What was it about that trip? Why did you go? What did you see? And how did it change you?”

Zarah Sultana MP; ” So we went on a delegation of Labour members, Labour councillors, It was a Labour to Palestine delegation, and it was during my freshers week at university. And we stayed in Ramallah, we visited Jerusalem, we visited Bethlehem, we visited Hebron. And some of the memories that I have from that visit was the fact that because of my British passport, I could travel through a checkpoint that was stopping Palestinians from being able to freely move. And the humiliation I saw Israeli soldiers give to Palestinians, including a blind Palestinian man who was just trying to get to a hospital appointment at St. John’s Hospital in Jerusalem, and his elderly mother was harrowing. And I saw children trialled in military court. And they are trialled under military law, not civilian law, because there is an apartheid system in place for people, Palestinian people who live in the West Bank, the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem….”

Presenter (interrupting); “You’re still obviously very moved by recalling the visit. Do you, as many people do, look at images coming from Gaza every day and as you are now, are you moved by them, do tears come?”

Zarah Sultana; ” Yes. It’s been two years of seeing those images and those videos coming in., and I think what is actually distressing for a politician, a British politician, is knowing that we have the ability. to stop it…”

Presenter; “You use the word apartheid. And you know, that offends lots of people who think it’s not right. But in a sense, I want to draw the parallel. When you say apartheid, I imagine you’re speaking to the many people more of my age than yours who remember the great campaigns against apartheid. And in a sense, I want to ask you, if Zarah Sultana got her way, if you ran the government, what’s the end point? Where do we end up?”

Zarah Sultana; ” A single state for everyone who lives there with equal rights.”

Presenter; ” So no Jewish state?”

Zarah Sultana; ” A single democratic state for everyone who lives there.”


Watch; Last Years harvest in Palestine was incredibly difficult, Olive Odyssey, 17 November 2025

Aya Gazawi Faour; “Last year’s harvest in Palestine was incredibly difficult, full of challenges and restrictions. Yet it was also deeply moving. And I’m sure this year’s harvest will carry both aspects. Despite everything we face, there’s a joy and excitement that comes with the season, and you can already feel it now. It’s something we look forward to all year. For us, the harvest is more than just work. It’s a celebration. In a way, the difficulties make it even more meaningful, reminding us of our ancestors, our connection to the land and the community that gathers around it.”


Read; Free Dr. Hussam now! Susan McNarey, 25 November 2025

‘Dr Hussam Idris Abu Safiya is a Palestinian paediatrician and neonatologist who was director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the Gaza Strip from February 2024 until its evacuation in December 2024. Abu Safiya was subsequently arrested and has been detained without charge in Ofer Prison.

On 11 February 2025, Abu Safiya was allowed to meet his lawyer in Ofer Prison, located in the occupied West Bank. During their meeting, he reported being subjected to various forms of torture and abuse, including being forcibly stripped, tightly shackled, and forced to sit on sharp gravel for hours. He also endured violent physical assaults, such as beatings with batons and electric shock sticks. Abu Safiya described being held in solitary confinement for 25 days, during which he was subjected to nearly constant interrogation for 10 days. Despite multiple requests for medical care, Israeli authorities denied him treatment for his heart condition.

Abu Safiya’s lawyer visited him again on 19 March 2025 in Ofer Prison. She expressed concern about his health stating “He is suffering from arterial tension, cardiac arrhythmia and vision problems,” and that “he has lost 20 kilos in two months and fractured four ribs during interrogations, without receiving proper medical care”. She claims Abu Safiya is being tortured to get him to confess to operating on Hamas members, which he denies.

On 13 July 2025, Abu Safiya’s lawyer reported that he had lost over 40kg while imprisoned and had sustained multiple injuries from a beating on 24 June. The lawyer also said he is being kept in solitary confinement and is being denied medical care for an irregular heartbeat.

On 16 October 2025, an Israeli court extended Abu Safiya’s administrative detention for a further six months.’ Wikipedia

‘Dr. Hussam’s lawyer warns: His heart is exhausted, his body shattered by continuous torture, and the freezing temperatures in his cell are worsening his suffering.

Behind cold walls, the doctor who saved hundreds of children and wounded civilians is left with no adequate food, no heating, and a health condition that is deteriorating day by day.

Every moment of silence is a share in his suffering.

Every delay in saving him could be the moment his life is lost.

Speak about him… spread his name… do not allow the voice of the doctor who saved lives to disappear.’


Read; Over 200 cultural heavyweights call for release of jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti Images, 3 December 2025

‘Over 200 prominent cultural figures spanning literature, film, music, art and activism have signed an open letter urging the release of Marwan Barghouti, who was abducted by Israeli forces in the West Bank in April 2002, and later jailed. The Palestinian leader is widely seen as a unifying force and a central figure in the struggle for Palestinian statehood, and is often described by supporters as the “Palestinian Mandela”.

The signatories include some of the world’s most celebrated names: authors Margaret Atwood, Philip Pullman, Zadie Smith, Fatima Bhutto and Nobel laureate Annie Ernaux; actors Sir Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Mark Ruffalo and Josh O’Connor; and musicians Sting, Paul Simon, Annie Lennox and Brian Eno. Also on the list are Stephen Fry, Gary Lineker, Ai Weiwei, Sir Richard Eyre, Delia Smith and billionaire entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson — a coalition as varied as it is influential.

Barghouti, 66, has spent 23 years behind bars after what human rights groups and legal experts have long described as a deeply flawed trial.

An elected Member of Parliament at the time of his abduction, he continues to consistently top Palestinian opinion polls as the public’s preferred leader. His continued detention, including his exclusion from the recent prisoner swap following October’s ceasefire in the Gaza war, has been widely interpreted not as a security decision but as a political one, rooted in concerns about the influence he could wield in building Palestinian unity and renewed momentum toward a two-state solution.

The open letter raises alarm over Israel’s insistence on introducing legislation allowing for the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners, a move that could put Barghouti at further risk.

The campaign for Barghouti draws parallels to the cultural movement that helped galvanise international pressure to free Nelson Mandela and end apartheid in South Africa. Mandela himself drew the comparison in 2002, saying, “What is happening to Barghouti is the same as what happened to me.”


Syria

Watch; Kevork Almassian: The Terrors of Syria Today Judging Freedom, 3 December 2025

Judge Napolitano; “Can you bring us up to date on the events in Syria and how this current government came to power upon the fall of President Assad?”

Kevork Almassian; “Actually this goes back to 2011. Abu Muhammad Jolani, the current self-selected president of Syria was in a CIA-run prison in Iraq alongside Abu Bakr Baghdadi. They released them in early 2011 and coincidentally this was the same time when the regime change war started in Syria as well. Abu Bakr Baghdadi, he joined the Al Qaeda in Iraq or then later was formed ISIS and Abu Muhammad Jolani went to Syria and he formed Jabhat al-Nusra or the Al Qaeda affiliate in my country. Now the US designated this organisation as a terrorist group, however they have never targeted his group or Abu Muhammad al-Jolani himself. He ruled the largest swath of territories between 2011 to 2024 in different places in the country. And at the end of this regime change operation which was Operation Timber Sycamore which our friend, also a guest on your show Jeffrey Sachs spoke about it in length. This was a CIA covert operation in Syria, they funnelled around $1 billion per year in arming and training and supporting these multinational Takfiris which was the group of Jolani. And so this was the strongest group actually against Assad until 2024 when there was actually a regional and international deal brokered against the will and the interests of Syria and they have sidelined or ousted Assad. And Jolani presented himself as the alternative. He selected himself as the president of the country, he abolished the Constitution and he’s running the country nowadays. Now he was considered an asset for the CIA for quite a long time. James Jeffrey, the former US envoy to Syria said he is an asset, the former Ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford said that he himself trained Jolani to take him out of the world of terrorism and so that he becomes a politician basically.”

Judge Napolitano; “How did it come about that the State Department put a $10 million bounty on his head?”

Kevork Almassian; “So he was the founder of the Al Qaeda offshoot in Syria. So the US designated his group as a terrorist organisation and also the UN designated him as a terrorist organisation. However, as we already know the US designates different groups as terrorist organisations. Some of them are not terrorists and others are. In this case they were accurate for designating Al Qaeda as a terrorist organisation, but they played a double game, especially under the Obama administration. So Obama came and said we are not arming the Jihadi groups, we are arming the so called moderate rebels. But the moderate rebels were nowhere to be found in Syria. So they founded what is called the Free Syrian Army as a face, as a mask so they could say there is something called like a democratic rebels. We are sending these weapons to the democratic rebels. But these rebels didn’t exist on the ground. This was the Jolani people fighting. So the administration of Obama funnel these weapons to Al Qaeda offshoot in Syria through this organisation called Free Syrian Army, and therefore this organisation has become, under the leadership of Jolani, the strongest group in the country which at later stage they managed to oust Assad. And I would argue and say Jolani himself couldn’t oust Assad, this was international and regional deal which included the US, the UK, Turkey, Russia and also Israel. Now from the US perspective, Jolani has been a long time asset for them. He will open up the Syrian markets to US investments, the US will take over the hydrocarbons of Syria in the eastern shore of the Euphrates and also beneath the Mediterranean. And for Israel this is a very important point, although Israel nowadays claims that they are against Jolani, they were, they didn’t only watch moving from Aleppo to Damascus to take over the government there, they actually gave his group tangible support because the group of Jolani they occupied the borders between Syria and the Golan Heights and when the Jolani forces were injured, they used to go to Israeli field hospitals and receive medical treatment, cash and light weapons and send them back to Syria to fight against the Syrian army. So Israel had an interest in bringing someone like Jolani because under Assad he was able to keep the country horizontally intact. So Assad could have claimed to represent everyone in the country. This was not a sectarian rule. But Jolani will bring vertical lines in the country. He will divide the country vertically, which means this goes in line with the strategy of Israel in the region or the union plan, and that is to divide Syria or the countries surrounding Israel into many states. And if you want to divide these countries into mini state or Balkanise them, you need to push for sub identities. So when Jolani comes to power and he is a jihadist, he was a leader of Al Qaeda. Basically the vast majority of the minorities in Syria and those are indigenous people of the country, the Christians, the Druze, the Alawites, the Shia, the Kurds and all other different ethnicities and sects they will reject to be ruled by Al Qaeda Emir. So everybody starts going into their canton and basically saying we cannot coexist with such a Takfiri terrorist regime and we want our first federal system or outright separatism from Syria. And that’s why Israel wanted for Jolani to come to power, and they’re trying to Balkanise the country now. And the evidence of it is overwhelming in the country. Now the Druze have their own militia, they govern their own affairs with the support of Israel. The Kurds are managing their own affairs with the support of the US, and now the Alawites are also calling for the same thing, they want their own autonomous status.”


Read; Iraq completes 350 km of concrete border wall with Syria; Nov 23, 2025

DAMASCUS, Syria – The Iraqi army announced on Sunday the completion of 350 kilometers of the concrete barrier along the border with Syria.

The Iraqi Border Guard Forces Command stated that construction of the fortifications along the Syrian-Iraqi border began in 2022, covering a stretch of more than 618 kilometers.

Iraq has accelerated construction of a concrete security wall along its northwestern border with Syria, a stretch that also marks the frontier with the Kurdistan Region.

The move comes as Baghdad seeks to seal the entirety of the 618-kilometer border following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024 and rising fears of militant infiltration.

The Command explained that approximately 350 kilometers of the concrete security wall have been completed, while efforts continue to seal all remaining gaps to prevent infiltration and smuggling.

The Command noted that the concrete wall is reinforced by a multi-layered security system, which includes, a trench 3 meters wide and 3 meters deep, an earthen berm rising 3 meters high, a four-layer inflatable barrier, observation towers positioned at one-kilometer intervals, each equipped with advanced thermal cameras linked to a centralized monitoring system.

It added that border fortification does not rely on the concrete wall alone, but is part of an integrated defense network made up of trenches, barbed wire barriers, and early warning systems, supported by high-precision thermal imaging and 24/7 day-and-night surveillance devices.


Sudan

Watch; Zionist War on Sudan Palestine Declassified, 15 November 2025

‘In today’s show, we’ll be explaining why the civil war between the Sudanese army, and the so-called Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, is relevant to Palestine’s struggle for liberation.’

Chris Williamson; “Well, our next report describes why Sudan was targeted by the United States and the zionist entity.”

Narration; “Sudan has long been in the crosshairs of the US empire and the zionist entity. In 2007, former US army General Wesley Clark revealed the contents of a Pentagon memo from before the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It described the United States plans for regime change across West Asia and North Africa.”

Wesley Clark; “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran.”

Narrator; “But why was Sudan on the list? Under President Omar Al Bashir, who ruled Sudan from 1989 to 2019, Sudan offered material support to Palestine. During that time, Sudan manufactured weapons and smuggled them to Gaza with Iranian collaboration. This led to Sudan being bombed by zionist aircraft in 2009 and 2012. Sudan also hosted some financial assets of the Palestinian resistance. When Sudan was fractured in 2011, the zionist regime was quick to recognise South Sudan and establish close relations with it. Its clear that Sudan’s anti-imperialist stance was a problem for both the United States and the zionist regime, therefore, it was also a problem for the Emiratis. But the UAE is not merely a client state of the US it has become a sub-imperial power in its own right. After the Arab Spring, Emirati rulers, in fear of being overthrown, started to crack down on Islamic revolutionaries within the UAE and spent millions of dollars abroad lobbying for Islamophobic policies. This policy of de-Islamisation and zionisation served as tools for long term political survival and the accumulation of wealth and resources.”

Chris Williamson; “Well, David, I mean, we just heard in the film there, didn’t we, that the neocon plan was to do regime change in seven countries within five years, including Sudan. But, but that wasn’t just a US plan, was this? It was also zionist plan as well, wasn’t it?”

David Miller; “Well, you say that. I mean, the way in which you’ve described it as being a neocon plan is the way in which, I guess many of us have described people on the left and centrist as, well, realists and foreign policy analysis. But when you look back on this, when you say, well, who are the neocons? The neocons, of course, were all zionists. Wolfowitz, of course, most famously one of the advocates of the Project for New American Century, and many of the other zionists who ran the Project for New American Century went into the Bush administration. So in retrospect, what we’re seeing here is the beginnings of, or a reasonably early stage of zionist colonisation of the administrative capacities of the American state. So this is a neocon plan. Yes, but it was a plan which, which certainly was about developing zionist interests through the mechanism of using US imperialism.”

Ahmed Kaballo (Journalist); “I don’t think the UAE will be pressured because why? The only person that could pressure the UAE, the only entity that could pressure the UAE is Donald Trump and the United States. One phone call from Donald Trump, that they would withdraw their support for the RSF immediately. But why would the US do that? We need to stop pretending that like these powers, these superpowers act out of morality, they act out of self interest. The only way this war will stop is if the US can broker a type of submission deal that Congo signed with Rwanda. And that deal was, we’ll secure your peace, but you have to give up your minerals, you have to give up your resources. It’s the type of deal that Donald Trump tried to secure with Ukraine and Russia, we’ll secure your peace, but you have to give up your minerals. The same thing in Sudan, we’ll secure peace, but you have to give up your gold, you have to give up your oil, you have to give up agricultural production. And so if General al-Burhan is willing to do that, then peace will be secured. If he’s not, the fighting will continue. It’s really as simple as that.”
